Rue, Clyde B., autobiographical statement (1968). "I was born in Detroit, Mich. in 1934 in the heart of the depression to a family of lower class socio-economic status. My father was deaf since early manhood and I have always felt this was an overwhelming handicap in his life. He had valued education but was unable to overcome this hardship and complete his schooling. He dropped out of college after his second year of college. Because of these factors he has supported his family almost totally by assembly line work. Of course his love of books, his respect for learning, and his desire for his children to do better certainly affected my outlook on life. My mother had a poverty background in every sense of the word. All of the memories I have of my youth are colored by being poorly clothed, or poorly fed, or unclean. I was the middle boy of three sons. My older brother is four years my senior and my younger brother 1 1/2 years my junior. When I was 14, another son was born, but Jimmy never seemed to be part of our shared miseries. (It was unfortunate, perhaps, for him to have no one with whom to share his miseries.) My parents built a home in 1940 in Livonia, Mich. outside a solidly middle class neighborhood. Everything we did or had was different from those with whom we went to school. Even while we walked a mile and a half to school in winter months, we were envious of our classmates. They walked no more than a half mile in clothes which enabled them to enjoy the childhood pleasures of winter. By the time we reached school our hands and feet were numb, our clothes stiff, and our hair frozen solid. By the time I was in high school, I had had many part-time jobs, and was then able to buy my own clothes, do my own laundry, and pay for my own dental costs. If I had not, these things would have been left unattended.".

Last year he was assistant nature director at Charles Howell Boy Scout Reservation. Bud has had eight star hikes where the campers have learned at least five constellations and six stars. Bud says he has enjoyed working with the staff and campers during the past season and hopes he has accomplished his aim - that every camper learns a little more about nature than he knew when he first came this year.".

Rue, Clyde B., autobiographical statement. "During my high school summers, I worked in a small church camp in various capacities from nature instructor to waterfront director. When I was 18, I served as business manager -- an unprecedented position for one my age. I was deeply impressed at the responsibility and trust that had been placed in me. The five summers I spent in Clear Lake Camp will always represent something special to me. I believe it was this experience which most affected my decision to spend my life in education".

"Dear Clyde:- Mrs. Bieber and I were away on vacation, when we got back home I found your letter and your picture waiting for me. According to your picture, you are a nice looking fellow. You have some features of your father. I was very pleased to hear that you received a two year scholarship. There is a great field in engineering yet you could always earn a living in pharmacy. I wouldn't be the right person to advise between engineering and pharmacy since the other fellow's grass always looks greener. I also believe that one's individual aptitudes should be considered when choosing a career. Well, summer vacation is over and your camp activities are at an end, no doubt you are all set for your schooling. Suzanne, my daughter, just came home from her camp and starts schooling the Mon. after labor day. Please give my fondest regards to Mother & Dad and tell Dad that one of these days I will write him a letter. Tell Mother & Dad that Mollie, Suzanne, & myself are all well. Yours, Oscar Bieber".

Rue, Clyde B., "Innisfree: An experience in deviance" (written in partial fulfillment of the requirements of a graduate education class at Trenton State College). "During the school year of 1969-70, I was working at Montclair High School. At that time, I was teaching mathematics and having a great deal of trouble feeling that I was doing justice to most of my students. At that time I had taught 12 years and really felt that the issues of "relevance" and "value-imposition" were of paramount importance. I felt that these issues were not honestly being faced by the public schools. I was not alone in this belief. Several of my colleagues and I made several attempts to approach the administration with a formal proposal to organize an alternate program within the school that did attempt to deal with these issues. The first attempt was met with a three-month delay, after which the principal explained to me that our proposal had been lost. The second attempt was met with another three-month delay before getting a response indicating the administration didn't feel the "time was right." It was due to this kind of frustrating experience that two of my colleagues and I turned to the private community to seek support for our proposal. On February 22, 1970, the three of us and our spouses announced ourselves to our students, to the high school staff, and to the rest of the community. We were looking for support from any quarter. What we had in mind was a program that was to be designed and implemented by its participants. There was to be input from all involved, where decisions would be made not just by the adult initiators but by the whole group of those people who would participate. We found support first among young people, many of whom knew they could not actually participate in the program but wanted to help in any way they could. We attracted other staff members, a total of 12. The staff included a nurse, a psychologist, a professional artist, a couple involved in theater and others of interesting and reputable backgrounds. The group decided what we wanted to do was raise the money to purchase property that could become our school. We located an old summer boarding house in Milanville, Pa. that really seemed appropriate to our needs. It came completely furnished and was only $61,000. (Only $61,000! For all practical purposes we had no money.) We decided that if we promoted a summer program as a camp experience and charged tuition on a sliding scale, so that money did not exclude anyone who otherwise could go, we might be able to raise the capital to purchase the site. * * *".

The Lawrence Ledger (Lawrenceville, New Jersey), Wed. 1 Dec 1982. "Outdoor education has bigger scope at the junior high. By Tom Lederer, Managing Editor. It's outdoor education, but the way Lawrence Junior High teacher Bud Rue concocts it, there is a lot of life education mixed in with it too. This fall three groups of about 10 eighth and ninth grade students traveled to Milanville, Pa., on the upper Delaware River, to a camp where Mr. Rue happens to be a trustee. Word of mouth has made the trips a popular activity for students, and Mr. Rue is planning to follow up with ski trips this winter. Leaving early Friday afternoon in buses provided by the board of education, the students and adults take a scenic and educational route through the Delaware Water Gap, and arrive about 3:30 p.m. in Camp Innisfree. What follows is a combination of work assignments from teachers, household duties which include planning preparation of meals and keeping the camp building clean as well as having fun enjoying the upper Delaware area. Rafting the Delaware at Skinners Falls, swimming under a waterfall at a remote stream, volleyball games, hiking and fishing and sharing a bonfire are part of the crowded schedule Mr. Rue carefully arranges. Besides taking enjoyment from the area there is some giving back as well. The kids have cleaned up garbage in the Skinners Falls, for example. Two teachers give each student an assignment to complete at the camp under a contract system. A social studies teacher assigned one student to interview local residents of a once-prosperous mill town nearby. A frequent assignment from English teachers is to keep a journal. Math teachers have assigned students to measure the width and rate of flow of the river. Biology and geology teachers have also made good use of the area in their assignments, Mr. Rue said. With that crowded schedule (departure for home is 8:15 Sunday morning) Mr. Rue says he also squeezes in what he calls his "hidden agenda." "It's developing a responsibility for the group and other kids," he said. One problem that has cropped up, for example, is money. There is a general store near the camp, and over-spending by some kids has as well as just how much how much money people should bring has been one subject for discussion. On Saturday evening, the kids meet with Mr. Rue, who is usually accompanied to the camp by his wife Ann and health teacher Kathy Edmunds or by science teacher Nadine Marty and husband Quenton. "We talk about any problems that may have developed. We try to get across that it's crucial to get along wherever we are. Our little group is a microcosm of society and it's important to get kids concerned about how the other kids feel; we all have an impact on each other.".

The River Reporter (Narrowsburg, New York), 20 April 1989, p. 9. "Nonprofit retreat center to open all week. MILANVILLE - The Innisfree Country Inn on River Road, near the Skinners Falls Bridge, will be open seven days a week, starting June 15th, its owners say. In recent years, the nonprofit retreat center has only accepted guests on weekends. While Innisfree's main focus is organized groups, individual guests and families are also welcome. The facility is owned by Bud and Ann Rue, until June of Lawrenceville, New Jersey; now taking up full-time residence in Milanville. Formerly, they commuted every weekend. Bud Rue is president of Innisfree Corporation, which leases the premises. Its nine trustees, none of whom are paid, meet once per year. Bud is about to retire after 25 years public teaching experience, and Ann from 20 years in private, nonprofit day-care administration and teaching. Now, the Rues say they will open the facility seven days a week, and continue to focus on educational, social, recreational and family groups. Innisfree was founded in 1970 -- the year after the Woodstock Music Festival took place in nearby Bethel -- by a group of more than 15 professional educators and 45 long-haired teenagers, as an experimental self-governing community. Since then, it has hosted a variety of programs, including drama workshops, psychological "growth groups," outdoor-educational activities, river groups, and private family functions. Yoga classes and a Unitarian Universalist religions fellowship are held Sunday mornings in the recreational hall, though the corporation is nonsectarian and nonpolitical. The center includes five buildings on 13.7 acres. Indoor sleeping capacity is about 55, according to the Rues, who will offer and all-you-can-eat homemade breakfast for $3. However, Bud Rue noted the name of the establishment is taken from a poem by William Butler Yeats, and does not mean 'the inn is free,' as some have asked. Innisfree is within walking distance of the Skinners Falls river access. Rates for individuals are moderate, with special five-meal packages available for groups of 10 or more. The facility is a member of the Pocono Mountain Vacation Bureau.".

The Times Herald-Record, 25 Oct 1993. "Organizer dies on walkathon, by Lisa Johnson. NARROWSBURG - Clyde 'Bud' Rue walked his last steps in the name of society's forgotten people. Rue, 59, died, Sunday, October 24, after marching briefly in the 'Walk for Social Justice,' a 10-kilometer walkathon he and other members of the Upper Delaware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship organized to raise funds for human service organizations in Sullivan County and Wayne County. He was the oil that keeps society operating,' said longtime friend Glenn Pontier. 'He filled in the cracks and smoothed the gears. Pontier, who was one of the 28 people walking in the march with Rue, said Rue grew tired after the first mile or so. The 'sweep car' following the walkers picked Rue up. He chatted with the drivers -- Pontier's parents -- for a few moments and then collapsed. Pontier said Rue was driven to Innisfree in Milanville, Rue's home and the walkers' destination. Emergency medical workers were called to the scene and Rue reportedly died on the way to Wayne Memorial Hospital. He was so anxious to do that walk," Ann Rue said. Mrs. Rue said she tried to talk her husband out of walking, feeling it would be too strenuous. 'But he would not be dissuaded.' The $1,000 raised by the walk will benefit the Victims Intervention Program of Honesdale, an agency that helps battered and abused women; Habitat for Humanity of Wayne County; Interfaith Outreach United of Callicoon; and the Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office. 'The common denominator was my father,' said Tom Rue of Monticello. Tom Rue described his father as a man, who, together with his wife, Ann, dedicated much of their time to charity. While others might lament social problems, Tom Rue said, 'My father asked, 'What can we do?' And then he did it.' Tom Rue said his parents generated the idea of a local Habitat for Humanity chapter, a national program that helps poor families build homes on donated land, and formed the group with other religious organizations. Tom Rue's wife Carmen echoed her husband's sentiments. 'He was like a father to me. He was always there for anybody who needed him.' Yesterday's walkathon began with Rue leading the way from the Tusten-Cochecton Library in Narrowsburg toward Innisfree. Innisfree, Tom Rue explained, was an educational summer camp for teens that his parents operated in 1970. The couple moved to Innisfree four years ago when Clyde Rue retired from teaching mathematics in New Jersey. The cause of Rue's death could not be determined last night, though friends said Rue had asthma and had recently undergone two operations. Rue was a founding member of the Upper Delaware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship; a board member of The River School at Innisfree; and a founding member of the Upper Delaware chapter of Amnesty International. Rue and his wife have four adult children. Tom Rue, John Rue of New York City, David Rue of Newtown, Pa., and Ella Rue-Eyet of Rockland, Mass. 'He was simply a great spirit,' Pontier said. 'He died walking for social justice. If I could only have that on my epitaph.' Pontier said organizers hope to make the walkathon annual as a memorial to Rue, and the family is asking that memorial contributions be made to the Fellowship, which will distribute the money to the four agencies for which Rue walked.". reprinted in The River Reporter, 28 Oct 1993, with an editorial by Tom Rue entitled "Crossing the River".

The River Reporter, 28 Oct. 1993. "Clyde B. 'Bud' Rue of Milanville, a retired public school teacher in New Jersey and 23-year area resident, died Sunday, October 24 at Wayne Memorial Hospital in Honesdale. He was 59.

"Friends gather for Bud Rue memorial," 5 Nov 1993, p. 1, 5 Nov 1993, p. 1. About 125 people participated in a "Celebration of the Life of Clyde B. 'Bud' Rue" and shared their joy of having known Mr. Rue and their sorrow at the end of his quest to improve the world around him. The ceremony at the Milanville Methodist Church took place on a rainy day, Saturday, Oct. 30, "When people were weeping inside, the earth was weeping, too," commented Glenn Pontier. The celebration began and ended with music performed by harpists Carl and Shannon Robbins. Guitarist Laurie Stuart led the packed church in two of Mr. Rue's favorite hymns, "We Are a Gentle, Angry People" and "Gonna Lay Down My Sword and Shield," with themes of peace and social justice. Mr. Rue's friends and family members ahred poems and stories about him and the ways he affected their lives. Mr. Rue's life ended when he took his last steps in a "Walk for Justice" that he helped organize. The walk raised money for four organizations that worked for some of the same ideals that Mr. Rue did throughout his life: Habitat for Humanity of Wayne County, Victims Intervention Program, Interfaith Outreach United of Callicoon and the Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office. The walk was the "culmination of his ideas" to help society's forgotten people, according to Rev. Raymond J. Pontier, pastor of the Upper Delaware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship that Mr. Rue helped establish. Mr. Rue "was religious without being sanctimonious, pious or self-righteous," but instead "exemplified what Jesus meant when he said you should love your neighbor as yourself," said Rev. Pontier. Dale Rosenberg, Habitat for Humanity's president, said that Mr. Rue left "an enduring legacy" in the Wayne County chapter that grew from a small group of people with a desire to help, to a well-known organization that actually is building a house. "He died for projects he loved, but more importantly, he lived for them," Mr. Rosenberg added. There was not a dry eye in the church when his daughter, Ella Rue-Eyet, read a letter that she wrote to her late father, saying that she would miss the "large-hearted" man "with a laugh that filled a room," and whose "kindness knew no end.".

The Somerset Messenger-Gazette (Somerville, New Jersey), 6 Sept 1956. "Late Summer Wedding Saturday United Miss Woldin, Clyde B. Rue. BOUND BROOK - At a late summer wedding in the Congregational Church on Saturday afternoon, Miss Bernette Ann Woldin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Woldin of Church street, became the bride of Clyde B. Rue U.S.N., son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur B. [sic] Rue of Livonia, Mich. The pastor, Dr. Olin Lewis, performed the double ring ceremony at 4 o'clock in a setting of white gladioli. Mahlon Merk, church organist, played the nuptial music. Robert Rue, of Fort Bragg, N.C., brother of the bridegroom, was the soloist. The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a floor-length gown of Chantilly lace over satin, designed with a high neckline, fitted bodice, long sleeves and a bouffant skirt. The neckline and skirt was overlayed with satin looped scroll. There was a satin bustle bow at the back. Her fingertip veil was attached to a looped satin coronet. She carried a bouquet of Eucharist lilies and stephanotis. Miss Peggy Apgar of Central avenue was the bride's only attendant in a gown of pale yellow chiffon with a hooped skirt. She wore a tieara of seed pearls and carried a bouquet of yellow and bronze pompons. For her daughter's wedding, Mrs. Woldin chose a gold silk sheath with avacado accessories. The bridegroom's mother wore pale blue chiffon with nylon lace panels and dark blue accessories. Their corsages were of orchids. John Platske of Chicago was the best ban. The ushers were William and Robert Woldin, brothers of the bride, and William and James Rue, brothers of the bridegroom. Following the wedding there was a reception for 175 guests in the garden of the Woldin home in Church street. Previous to the wedding, the bride entertained 60 neighborhood children at a reception in the garden. The couple left for a honeymoon to the Poconos, the bride wearing a black and white tweed suit with matching accessories. They will reside at 25 Grove street, New London, Conn. The bride, a graduate of Bound Brook High School, attended Michigan State College for two years. She will enter Connecticut College for Women at New London this month. During the past summer, she has conducted the Red Cross "Learn to Swim" program at the Codrington Pool. The bridegroom attended Michigan State College for two years and is presently serving in the U.S. Navy aboard the submarine "Trout" at New London.".

Rue, Clyde B., autobiographical statement (1969). "I liked Ann. She didn't come on strong, but she seemed to like me. I lied to her many times in our courtship. I wanted so much for her to want me, and how could she want me if I told her only the truth. I enjoyed my leave very much, I guess, because she seemed to enjoy me. I returned to East Lansing quite a few times on weekend passes, hitch-hiking both ways in 72 hours. They were good weekends. I guess I was being fed the things I thought I wanted, including feeling that she was too. I thought I was in love. Who knows, maybe I was. One thing is certain, I had never felt toward anyone the way I felt toward her. I made 'improper' advances. She never let me go very far. I liked this, whatever the reasons, I liked this. Maybe it convinced me that she was a girl of high morals, whatever that means. Ann invited me to spend Christmas vacation with her at her home in Bound Brook, New Jersey. She was bringing a girlfriend with her, and I brought Jack with me. When I met Ann's family, I felt what more could anyone want than to come from a family like the Woldins. Her mother was vivacious, smooth-talking, and seemed to run the all-American home. Her father was quiet, enjoyed sports, and seemed very much engrossed in his work. The Christmas week I spent at the Woldins was for me a very good one.".

Rue, Opal B., autobiographical statement (1976). "I went to school at Central High School on 55th St. and Arthur had a job with Hupp Co. In August 1930, Bill was born and I left him with the landlady and continued my education. In November 1931 Hupp Corporation moved to Detroit. They gave Arthur a letter and, thinking he might get a job, we took a bus to Detroit. Bill was just a year old. He learned to walk just after we got to Detroit. The mayor of Detroit had made the factories promise not to give jobs to outsiders and so Arthur couldn't get a job. We had arrived in Detroit with $75.00 and Arthur got a job at Goodwill Industries selling books. They sent him to Boston to learn more about the business and because they'd pay our expenses after we got there, but only his fare, we took the money and hitch-hiked, leaving Bill with out landlady. We spent five days in New York City and the rest of the summer in Boston where we had a wonderful time. When we returned to Detroit, Arthur decided he'd like a book shop and started buying books and storing them. When he decided he had enough, we rented a shop on Warren and Junction for $25.00 a month. We ran the book shop for eight years... Arthur had started working for Ford Motor Co. in 1935, leaving me the running of the book shop.".

Rue, James A. of Laguna Beach, California, letter to Rev. Robert Crilley of Ft. St. Presbyterian Church (23 Dec 1985). "My parents were longtime members of Fort Street Church, and many of my early childhood memories of the holidays are wrapped up with Fort Street. I was a member of Scout troop #2, with Mr. Richter presiding, as were all three of my brothers, all much older than I. Although we were 'commuters' during the entire time that I attended Fort Street, it was at one time a neighborhood church for my parents and brothers, and my parents loved the place with a passion. My father, Arthur Rue, passed away after a long bout with Parkinson's Disease, in 1973, and my mother succumbed to leukemia in 1978. I wonder if there are any members remaining that remember my Dad. I expect some would. He was a very large deaf man with a bald head, a heavy supporter of your scouting program.".

Woldin, Samuel I., autobiographical statement (10 Feb 1975). "As far back as I can remember I was interested in athletics. When I was about six or seven my father gave me on my birthday a baseball bat, ball and glove. They did not last very long as I immediately went out to play with the big fellows and it wasn't long before the bat was split and the ball was no longer playable. But my interest continued. When I was in the eighth grade I was asked to play on the high school team. In my senior year I was elected captain of both the baseball and basketball teams. Some time later I started playing tennis with considerable success. I was a member of a doubles team which captured the Somerset County championship.".

Woldin, Samuel I., autobiographical statement. "It was just before this time that I became acquainted with a new arrival in town -- Paul Robeson. I suppose it was my early upbringing that caused me to have such an admiration for him. My parents were of the Jewish faith being subjected to much discrimination and prejudice. Of course I noticed this but never accepted it. To me my parents were two wonderful people who would never harm anyone. In time they were looked up to and admired in Somerville. I suppose my recoil from prejudice came from them so my interest in the abused black people developed from them. My great interest in Paul Robeson started when he excelled in Somerville High School athletics. So I naturally followed his career at Rutgers. His accomplishments there were monumental. Not only in athletics but in scholarships and debating. He was chosen as an All-American football player and also shone in basketball, baseball, and track. After leaving Rutgers he studied law at Columbia University. And from then on he became famous internationally for his singing and acting. Well, so much for Paul Robeson. But to me he is the greatest American of the twentieth century. I still follow him in the great number of news articles about him... I am still greatly involved in [fighting] discrimination against all minorities but mainly the black race. I suppose this is due to my early bringing and experience, and will remain with me until I die. My feeling is that if more people were involved in [fighting] this inequity maybe in time it could be erased from our society.".

Cruise, William B., transcript of interview at his home in Passaic, New Jersey. "I wasn't any more than eight years old, I guess, when my brother Tom and I went out in the country to get a Christmas tree. This was where a man by the name of Mart Holcomb lived. He was very upset when people would go in and take down trees. However, we went in with the ax, we cut down this tree, and started for home. Then he came out and he called us all kinds of vile names. It had been raining and the mud sucked off my rubber overshoes. I had to stop, put the tree down, and put my overshoes on. When we started back, we put the ax in the tree, but the ax soon fell off. It fell down in the mud. We had to stop and pick it up. When we finally got it home, it was too big to take it into the house. We had to take the top out of it. It was big enough for a community tree. That was my experience of going and getting our own Christmas tree. We didn't even have to pay for it.".

"It was later in this trip to Ireland in 1967 that Ella was butted by a goat while trying to locate her relatives in Oldcastle, possibly in the north of Ireland. While they were in Ireland, they heard stories about the rioting in Newark, NJ. They were worried about Trudy, because she was in college near Newark (Seton Hall) but she was fine." Notes from Vince Shannon's trip to Ireland 12 Aug. 1967: "... Goleen where we spent a half hr looking for the McDonald house, after several bad starts, we finally found it. When we pulled up in front, there was a large gate. Inside was a flock of chickens and a mean looking dog. Ella wanted me to take on the trip to the house, but I chickened and blew the horn instead. At first we got no reply, so to use the time I took a picture. I don't think it will be very good, because it was quite dark by then from clouds. We were about to pull away when this woman came out dressed rather plain. I explained who we were. She said she never met Mary McDonnell(n128), and her daughter was working in Bantry. She was pleasant enough but did not invite us in and we did not push this point".

Shannon, Dorothy of Ellicot City, Maryland, gedcom and e-mail to Thomas Rue of Monticello, New York. "I handed out some information at a family reunion that contained mention of an illness my father would never have discussed in public and he was annoyed, so I took most of the medical information and put it in a confidential file that I don't send out to anyone. I can't remenmber if this file was screened or if this is the original. I think there is a description of their trip to Greece that was kind of interesting. They were always going somewhere and ususally it was Ella who got butted by a goat in Ireland, lost her purse with their tickets in Portugal, broke her arm in Mexico. But on this trip my father, who was prone to seasickness was given a scopolamine patch by the doctor and it made him delierious and very sick. They kept a diary, which I wound up with. It sounded like the trip from hell to me, but they put a good face on it. So let them see it if you think they might find it interesting. Maybe they will come up with other rememberances I can put in the file. Sometimes I find it enlightening to hear the impressions of other family members about events I attended. My sister and I remember different episodes from our youth, for example. Some things impressed me and others her. We keep saying 'You don't remember that? I know you were there!' Ella was a real character in her day. She knew how to keep a conversation going. She was among the original 'independent' women. I suppose she was called a spinster before she took on the daunting task of marrying my father. I know it took a while for her to make up her mind to marry. My father was going to ask her at Valentine's Day and I expected he'd come home with the newd, but it was at least several months afterwords when she actually agreed, I'm not sure if he asked her and she wasn't sure or he didn't ask because their discussion indicated she wasn't ready to be asked. She was good for my Dad. He was still in mourning when he married her and I have to think that was a rocky time for both of them. She was completely unlike my mother is almost every aspect. And she was used to living with her mother in a one bedroom flat. Her mother was a wonderful woman and healthy at that time. She used to clean the house and make dinner and iron Ella's dress for the next day. She said she had nothing else to do sitting around the house all day. Ella was just as glad for her to do that because she sometimes tried to help in ways Ella would have preferred she not. For example, Ella had been working on a cutowork tablecloth. You have to stitch very carefully around a pattern and then cut out the cloth from within the edges you sewed. Well, her mother tried to help her out with the cutting and she cut some of the binding threads, because her eyesight wasn't too good. It ruined the cloth, which probably took many many months to embroider. So, if Nellie wanted to clean or iron, that was fine with Ella. Then she moved into a huge new house with 5 people still in mourning, only one of whom had actually chosen her presence. (That's not to say we objected, because we all felt he needed a wife. We just didn't really know who she was or how to relate to her). Her sense of humor occasionally failed her during this transition. After a while, we all figured out how to "get along" (This was before the days when people worked on 'communicating')".

Dad was devastated by mother's death and Ella was an outgoing woman with a positive attitude and an entertaining character. [There are] two letters he wrote in August of 1962 to her while she was away, probably a Red Cross convention in Washington, DC. It indicates he is concerned about the weather during her flight, responds to things she wrote to him. She must have given a speech as he notes 'I thoroughly understand about not having your friends and relations in the audience 'Hanging on to every word.' You and I are alike in may respects, I do much better with strangers for some unknown reason.' He also wrote some of the phrases that he used often: 'Keep up the good work.' 'God Bless and say one for me.' 'Hanging in there loose, like the Dr. ordered'".

Shannon, Dorothy of Ellicot City, Maryland, gedcom and e-mail to Thomas Rue of Monticello, New York. "I remember that day very well. You can imagine our anticipation of having a step-mother. We were all teenagers 13-17. I had a 'steady', who became my husband in 1965. We three girls all went to have our hair done together in the morning and I was the first one finished. I wanted to be early so we took off for the church. Little did I realize that in all the noise and confustion, I didn't REALLy know where the church was. I thought I did, but I was wrong. Who brings the invitation of their father's wedding with them? It's not like we had cell phones than and by the time I realized I was lost, everyone else had left the house. By the time we finally, somehow, checked every Catholic church anywhere near Bloomfield avenue, it was WAY late. I was sobbing hysterically ( I was 17). The bride had already gone up the isle in her blue chiffon semi-formal with the little blue hat. I understand that she did not exactly walk up the isle, but that she stopped and shook hands with people and greeted them as she went. Anyway, I was afraid my father would be frantic wondering what happend to me and they would hold up the wedding and send out search parties. As it happened, no one seemed to notice much except my sisters, who were too timid to do anything so rash as to bring up my absence. So I walked in late, slid in by a side isle and tried not to sob too loudly through the ceremony. I figured the whole church saw me and thought that I was upset about the marriage, disapproved, tried to stop it, who knows what a 17 yr old can come up with. By the end, I was collected and tried to explain myself to a cousin or two but when they hadn't noticed I decided to keep my mouth shut. Apparently my father didn't realize I wasn't there smiling through the whole thing. The reception was in a country club and it was not particularly memorable. Just the usual dancing and cake cutting. A good time was had by all and they didn't smash the cake into each other's face. They got some really nice gifts from Ella's friends--a lot of silver. They had it all laid out on tables for viewing as was the custom. When they went away for their honeymoon (I can't remember where right now) I was very nervous about guarding all the loot. But, all was well".

He told Bill Woldin (Ella's nephew) that he moved because Ella was beginning to have trouble remembering things and he wanted to get set up where he could get some help when it was needed. It was sad for them to leave Yardley where they had their Florida room overlooking the woods and the canal. They enjoyed watching the deer and the birds, but Dad didn't like the squirrels because they were destructive. They missed having the car parked right outside, but he really like not having to worry about the lawn and the snow. It was getting to be difficult to keep the place in repair.

The reception was held at the Fairmount on Hudson Blvd Jersey City. Only my family and Dolly's plus misc. friends attended. It was not a large gathering because money was tight. My mother was born in England apparently Liverpool. My mothers sisters and brothers were Aunt Mary who was born in Ireland died in Buffalo NY Mar, 1930. I remember her very well a real hard worker and a great pal for kids, always had a handy surprise. She worked as a housekeeper for some well-off people in Bflo., then later worked in a laundry as an ironer. Timothy Sheehan was born in Ireland died in Bflo., NY, 1905. Aunt Kate Greene is still alive appox. 86 years old. She had a big family, Veronica alive, Katherine, Loretta dead, Richard dead, Elizabeth dead, William alive in Buffalo area. Dorothy alive in Buflo. or Calif. She had a couple of more kids but I think they died as infants. The job you gave me is a real bit.- I think most of the information I can give you will have to get from the proper sources. The Buffalo newspaper is the Buffalo Evening news. I sold this when I was approx. 12 years old until I was about 17. We as a family - Ed - Din & myself sold papers on our end of time. I am sure you can get all the info you want from them. The cemetery all our people are buried in happens to be in Lackawanna NY, It is normally referred to as Father Bakers" and /or Limestone Hill. There is another newspaper in Buffalo it is the "Courier Express they will also have the same vital statistics as the Bflo. Evening news." (NOTE the last page of the letter is missing).

Shannon, Ella Theresa Cruise of Yardley, Pennsylvania, letter to Bernette Ann Woldin Rue of Trenton, New Jersey (4 July 1976). "Sun. July 4, '76. Dear Peachy, This weekend marked an important birthday for you and for our country. On TV, we've seen reenactments of our country's birthday but I have had a mental reenactment of your birthday. Grandma and I had gone to Somerville to "give a hand" in case you came. You came during the nite and we never heard a flutter. In the morning your father proudly informed us, 'We have a little girl!' This weekend, in addition to the joys of the date on the calendar we have had some sad news. On Thurs. nite we got a call from Uncle Bob Cruise informing us of Shauneen's tragedy. Her little girl, Amy, age three this coming Sept., was killed by a car that day. It was a very sad situation. Shauneen had her in the station wagon on her way to pick up Sara, age 7, and Katie, age 5, at the swimming pool. Somehow, while Shauneen was parking the station wagon, Amy inadvertently opened the door, fell out, and Shauneen ran over her, killing her without realizing she was out. Needless to say, Shauneen was hysterically affected. Vince and I went down to the services held on Fri. A.M. Perhaps you could send a note or a card to Shaunen. She needs all the support she can get, [to] Mr. & Mrs. William William Hutchinson, 144 Olbbury Drive, Wilmington, Del. 19808. I've called Bill and Bob and informed them.Bye now, Aunt Ella".".

Bucks County Land Records. "Benjamin Rue would have been 21 in 1773 and must have acquired his share of the land his grandfather bequeathed to himself and his brother Lewis not long after, as he was actively trading land by 1774. He was called a painter and glazier of Bristol township on 25 Mar 1774, when he bought about 150 acres in Warwick township, Bucks County for -L457, 10 sh. (Bucks Co. LR 17:252). Two hundred pounds of this sum he borrowed from Richard Gibbs (LR 16:236). Benjamin only owned this land a year, selling it on 4 April 1775 to Richard Gibbs for the same price he had paid (LR 17:247). Benjamin's share of the remainder of his grandfather's 180 acre tract in Bristol township came to 49 acres, which he divided into 5 acre lots. During 1775, he sold at least 35 acres of this land for -L40 a lot (Bucks Co. LR 17:348, 18:95, 119, 143, 144 & 146)", in Utermohlen, 1996.

Pennsylvania Archives, 3d Series, vol. 13, p. 97. "Benjamin Rue and Lewis Rue, probably his brother, appear in the tax list for Ridley, Chester County in 1779. Benjamin was taxed on 155 acres of land, one negro, two horses and four cattle. In 1780, both again appear in the Ridley list, although in that year two Lewis Rues are listed. In May 1780, Benjamin and Lewis Rue were among the inhabitants of Tinicum, an island in the Delaware River, who petitioned the Justices of the court of Quarter Sessions for Chester County to set Tinicum off from Ridley as a separate township. This petition was allowed on 31 Aug 1780 (Chester Co. Twp. School & Election District Papers, vol. 1, p. 83). That same summer, on 31 Jul 1780, Capt. Benjamin Rue of "Tinicum Township" acquired, for 600, the interests of Elioner Culin, Margaret Wilson and Sarah Truland, the three grown daughters of John and Christian (Boon) Justison, in "Sundry Islands of Land and marsh situate in the River Delaware." Such rights included both the interests that may have belonged to John Justison and those that had originally been Andrew Boon's and had then descended to his son Swanson Boon and then to Swanson's daughter Christian, the wife of Justison (Phila. Co. LR D-3:341). Benjamin's purpose in acquiring such an attenuated right appears to have been to arm him with paper title to some of the former property of Joseph Galloway, a British sympathizer. The Pennsylvania government had declared Galloway's estates forfeited in 1779 and sold the land in February and May 1780.".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Family. "That same summer, on 31 Jul 1780, Capt. Benjamin Rue of "Tinicum Township" acquired, for -L600, the interests of Elioner Culin, Margaret Wilson and Sarah Truland, the three grown daughters of John and Christian (Boon) Justison, in "Sundry Islands of Land and marsh situate in the River Delaware."

The Pennsylvania government had declared Galloway's estates forfeited in 1779 and sold the land in February and May 1780. The property Benjamin acquired through this purchase included a one-third undivided interest in "Hog Island" (formerly "Boon's Island"). Benjamin subsequently made a partition of this island with Thomas Proctor, the other owner, and divided his share into 19 lots, two of which he and his wife Mary sold to Proctor on 7 Oct 1782 (Phila. Co. LR D-18:76). Beginning in 1780, Proctor, Rue and others were engaged in a lengthy struggle with the Commonwealth over their right to this land, several times being charged with trespass. After ten years, they appear to have been successful in establishing their right to the property (see Henry Graham Ashmead, History of Delaware Co., Pennsylvania [Philadelphia 1884], pp. 283, 287-88). Soon after acquiring his interest in Hog Island, Benjamin Rue also acquired a one-third interest in Little Tinicum Island, which was located in the Delaware River, opposite Darby Creek and Great Tinicum Island. The purchase was by an apparently unrecorded conveyance from George and Elizabeth Morton dated 14 Nov 1780. The entire tract involved was 238 acres, less five percent for roads. This interest Benjamin and his wife Mary conveyed to Benjamin's son Lewis on 7 May 1805 (Del. Co. H:417)".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Family. "Benjamin Rue appears in the tax lists for Tinicum, Chester County, between 1782 and 1789. A Benjamin Rue was coroner of Chester Co. on 12 Oct 1782 (Hist of Chester Co). In the 1783 tax list, Benjamin was called "Gentleman," had 8 white inhabitants in his household, and was taxed on 3 horses, 10 cattle, 5 sheep, one negro (perhaps aged 14), 104 acres of marsh, as well as 300 acres of land outside the township of Tinicum. Benjamin was tax collector for Tinicum in 1787 (Chester Co. Commissioners Minutes, 1789-1803, p. 164)".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Family. "On 16 Nov 1785, Benjamin Rue (called "Gent.") paid -L90 to his sister and brother-in-law William and Catherine Thorne for a lot 22 feet wide and 99 feet deep, with a frame house, on the west side of Eighth Street in Philadelphia between Chestnut and Walnut streets. The land was subject to a semi-annual rent of 11 milled Spanish silver dollars (Phila. Co. LR D-14:440). Benjamin sold his interest in this property for 80 to James Chevalier on 23 Jan 1787 (no wife joined in the deed) (Phila. Co. LR D-18:258). A Benjamin Rue is listed in Philadelphia in the 1790 census, with a household of 1 male 16+, 1 male <16, 3 females, and 1 slave.".

U.S. Department of Treasury, Head of Household Schedule (1800 U.S. Census). 11 people in household: 1 male and 1 female under 10; 0 males and 1 female age 10-16; 0 males and 1 female age 16-26; 1 male and 0 females age 26-45; 1 male and 1 female over age 45; 4 non-white free persons.

Ashmead, Henry Graham, History of Delaware County, Pennsylvania Philadelphia (1884), p. 289. "In 1800, the Philadelphia Lazaretto, or quarantine hospital, was moved to Tinicum and, anticipating increased traffic in connection with the Lazaretto, Benjamin petitioned the county court to be permitted to keep a public-house in his dwelling house. He appears to have kept a tavern there through 1802, although he was called a "grazier" in 1801. After 1802, Charles Lloyd acquired the license". in Utermohlen (1996).

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Family. "On 31 Oct 1800, Benjamin bought two small parcels of land (3 acres and 2 acres) in Tinicum from his father- in-law, John Taylor (E:257). The same day he received one acre along the Delaware in trust from Taylor for the benefit of Taylor's grandson William Roberts".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Family. "On 28 Sep 1801, Taylor conveyed to Benjamin Rue and to Lewis and Catherine Rue, Benjamin's two children by his then-deceased first wife, Taylor's daughter, a sizable tract on Tinicum containing 52 acres of upland and 83 acres of meadow (E:628). Benjamin was given a life estate and his children were to have the property equally after his death. Either this conveyance itself or perhaps an attempt to add to it an equal share in John Taylor's estate did not sit well with John's other heirs after he died. Things were patched up on 3 Dec 1804 by the other heirs agreeing to let Benjamin and his children keep this land and by their agreement, in turn, not to claim any of the remainder of John Taylor's estate (H:87 & 93). Benjamin, Lewis and Catherine proceeded to partition their property among themselves in fee on 7 May 1805 (H:263, 268 & 354)"
.

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Family. "By 4 Sep 1804, Benjamin was called "late of Tinicum township and now of the City and County of Philadelphia, grocer" and he appears to have left Tinicum for good (H:90). He was called a Philadelphia grocer again on 3 Dec 1804, but by 7 May 1805 he was Inspector of Butter for the City of Philadelphia. On 13 Mar 1806 he was called "late Inspector of Butter for the Port of Philadelphia," which may suggest he was then making his preparations to depart for Ohio".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Family. "It isn't entirely clear when Benjamin went to Warren County. His daughter Catherine was in Warren County by the time of her marriage there on 24 Aug 1806. A Benjamin Rue was resident in Turtle Creek township of that county in 1810. On 5 Aug 1814, a Benjamin Rue of Warren Co., probably either Benjamin or his son, bought Lot #134 in the town of Lebanon (consisting of 25 square perches) from George Gillespie for $30 (Warren Co. LR 4:546). Oddly, the same lot (perhaps an additional interest in the lot) was purchased by Benjamin Rue on 29 Jan 1816 from John H. Kain for $90 (Warren Co. LR 5:456). Benjamin Rue sold lot #240 in Lebanon on 22 Nov 1817, his wife Mary relinquishing her dower (LR 7:288). On 1 Nov 1820, Benjamin mortgaged Lot #109 in the town of Lebanon (located at Broadway St. and Warren St.) to Ichabod Corwin to secure a total of $300 owed by himself and his son Benjamin S. Rue due on 3 Jul 1821 (Warren Co. LR 9:273)".

The Lebanon Star (Lebanon, Ohio), 11 Oct 1980, p. 2. "Memory Lane Features Cross Keys Tavern", by Marion Snyder. upon removal to Warren County, Benjamin appears to have resumed his career as a tavern keeper and was associated with the "Crossed Keys" at Fort Ancient -- probably located in Union township along the Little Miami River; the "Golden Lamb" in Lebanon; and the "Indian Chief" (see Hazel S. Phillips, The Golden Lamb, p. 67).

Court Records, Warren County, Ohio, Probate Court, Admin. packet, Old C.P. box 23. Benjamin and Adam Koogler pledged, on 29 Jan 1816, to make semi-annual payments of $21.50 for three years to the administrators of Daniel Cushing; Koogler was an administrator of Benjamin's estate and in Dec 1821 arranged to advertise the sale of Benjamin's interest in the north half of Lot #214 in Lebanon.

"Christopher Rue later brought suit against Lewis Rue, as executor of Rachel Rue, which suit was pending at least between March 1779 and June 1784 (Bucks Co. Ct. Com. Pleas, Appearance Dockets, 1777-1780, pp. 10 & 336; 1781-1784, p. 30)". as cited by Utermohlen (1996).

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Family. "Christopher was named for his grandfather Stoffel Vansand and was sometimes called by the variants Stophel or Christoffel. He married Ann Moore, the daughter of John Moore, on 25 Mar 1769 at the First Baptist Church of Philadelphia. Ann was late of Upper Merion township, Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania on 8 Dec 1801, when administration was granted on her estate. Stophel Rue was a yeoman of Middletown on 29 Dec 1773 and 7 Apr 1775 when he and his wife Ann conveyed portions of his inheritance: 7+ acres to Daniel Larrew (Bucks Co. LR 18:289) and 83+ acres to William Broadnax (LR 17:297). A Christoffel Rue served in 5th Associated Co. of Middletown township on 21 Aug 1775. Ann Rue's father lived at Upper Merion township, Philadelphia (later Montgomery) County, which township was adjacent to the Chester County township of Tredyffrin. After disposing of his land in Bucks County, Christopher shifted his residence to the vicinity of Tredyffrin and the adjacent Chester Co. township of Easttown. The first step was his purchase, on 12 Apr 1775 while he still resided at Middletown, of two adjacent parcels of land from Sebastian Rink and wife of Philadelphia for 470 (Chester Co. LR T:326). The two tracts were in Tredyffrin township on the north side of the great road from Philadelphia to Lancaster, consisting of 40 acres and 34 perches and 30 acres respectively, and bounded by Samuel John, George Kingone, Captain Calvert, Evan Davies and Captain Isaac Wain. Christopher Rue was called "late of Middletown township in the County Bucks but now of Tredyffrin township in the County of Chester" on 25 Feb 1779, when he and his wife Ann sold the two tracts (Chester Co. LR H2:187). Christopher Rue of Easttown township, Chester Co., suffered losses inflicted by the British Army (History of Chester County, Penn p. 107 [Philadelphia 1881]), which losses presumably occurred during the British invasion and occupation of Philadelphia in 1777 and 1778 but perhaps were not compensated until later. In any event, Christopher and Ann Rue were of Easttown on 6 Jun 1780, when they conveyed her interest as daughter of John Moore in land located in Upper Merion township, Philadelphia Co. (Phila. Co. LR D-2:345). Christopher probably died prior to the 1790 census, when an Ann Rue is listed in Montgomery County, with a household consisting of one male above 16 and two females. He had certainly died by 25 Sep 1792 when Ann Rue was called his widow in acknowledging their deed of 1779. John Rue of Tredyffrin township, Chester Co., yeoman, made his will on 5 Dec 1800, leaving his entire estate to his mother Ann Rue, and appointing Abijah Stephens of Upper Merion township and William Davis of Tredyffrin township as his executors (Chester Co. est. #4836). His estate totalled 79.18.9, including 247 pounds of bacon, 10 bushels of oats, flax, 13 acres of grain in the ground and 9 gallons of whiskey. Among those who received payments from John's executors were Nicholas Bower, Richard Rue and Philip Shur. Nicholas Bower was granted administration of the estate of Ann Rue on 8 Dec 1801 in Montgomery Co (Pa. Geneal. Soc., Mont. Co. Will Abs. I:415). Although Ann was said to be of Upper Merion township, Montgomery Co. at the time of her death, the sale of her personalty, mostly household items, took place on 24 Dec 1801 at the dwelling house of Phillip Shur in Charlestown township, Chester Co., suggesting that she had lived with Shur at some point and probably that he was a son-in-law (Vendue Paper, Estate of Ann Rue, Montg. Co. est. #14,945). Philip Shur bought 18 items at the sale. Other persons purchasing items at the sale included Richard Rue, Ezekiel Shur, Elizabeth Shur, Richard More and Samuel Shur. The administrator's account of 5 Apr 1803 shows monies received from the estate of John Rue and small payments made to Richard Moore, Lewis Rue (probably Christopher's brother) and Philip Shur.".

James Rue, farmer of Richmond County, bought land from John Curtis for 155 pounds on 20 July 1714, laid out in at least two tracts (Rue Families, p. 4-5, citing Staten Island LR B:621). One was on the east side of Staten Island, bounded by Isaac Courtis, James Dye, the commons and Richard Dodyman and consisting of 60 acres of upland, 10 of salt meadow at the Great Kill and 8 acres of swamp and reedy meadows adjoining to the meadows of James Dyes and Richard Mitchell. Another tract included 20 acres of upland and 2 acres of meadow bounded by Nathaniel Britton, James Dye, Alexander Stuart and Arrent Prall. It is not clear whether the meadow parcels adjoined to the upland or consisted of separate lots. Matthew Rue appears to have purchased land in the same neighborhood later in 1714" (as quoted by Utermohlen).

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Family. "James and Matthew are linked by their common origin in Staten Island and their common destination in Bucks County, where they appear to have lived opposite one another along Neshaminy Creek. A familial connection is further suggested by both James and Matthew having named children Richard, Matthew, Catherine and Mary. Their relationship as brothers, however, is most strongly suggested by their joint acquisition, on 9 May 1732, of a lot of land belonging to John Rue in Perth Amboy, New Jersey (Rue Families p. 4, citing NJ Secy of State Deed Book 1-2, p. 194, closet 13). Ten years earlier, John Rue had a small piece of land surveyed that had been granted to his father Matthew (Staten Island Deeds C:100) and his conveyance to James and Matthew may have been intended as compensation for their inheritance.".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Family. "On 18 November 1779, Colonel George Rogers Clark presented Richard Rue's claim to a [400] acre right of settlement and an 1000 acre preemption 'on the head Waters of [Drennon's] Lick Creek' before the Virginia land commissioners sitting at the Falls of the Ohio. Rue's right to the land was described as his "improving the same & building a Cabbin &c in the year 1776 and residing in the country ever since" (S. Emmet Lucas, Jr., Certificate Book of the Virginia Land Commission of 1779-80 [Rpt. Easley, S.C., 1981], p. 48). Rue was granted a certificate for this land, which lay in what later became Henry County. It seems likely, however, that he did not settle permanently on that land until about 1794. In 1789, Rue is listed in the tax list for Fayette County and in 1791 and 1792 he was taxed in Woodford County, which was set off from Fayette County (Charles Brunk Heinemann, "First Census" of Kentucky 1790, p. 83 [Washington, D.C., 1940]; Woodford County, KY Tax Lists [FHL Microfilm #8280]). No later than 1795, he went to the part of Shelby County, Kentucky that became Henry County in 1798 (Shelby County, KY Tax Lists [FHL microfilm #8227]; Henry County, KY Tax Lists [FHL microfilm #8037]). In 1796, Rue was appointed a Justice of the Peace for Shelby County (Kentucky State Historical Society, Collections, vol. 28, p. 301). His home was evidently well-known, as it was used as a landmark in the late 1790s (Karen Mauer Green, The Kentucky Gazette 1787-1800: Genealogical and Historical Abstracts, pp. 136, 187, 203, 212 (Baltimore 1983).".

History of Wayne County, Indiana, p. 80. "The first court was held February 25, 1811 at the home of Richard Rue, three miles south of Richmond. No judicial business seems to have been done at this court. The court divided the county into two districts or townships, and appointed officers for them.".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Family. "Israel Rue is mentioned in the 28 Jul 1796 will of his uncle Richard Rue and filed a caveat against that will, which was tried at the May 1803 term of the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas, resulting in a verdict against Israel and for $2000 in damages. The actual probate of the will was delayed until 7 Feb 1806, perhaps by an appeal (Bucks Co. est. #3383). The entire account below assumes that the Israel Rue of Philadelphia Co. is the same as the Israel who was a son of Joseph Rue, but is open to the objection that the Philadelphia Co. man signed every deed with a mark, while the Israel who objected to Richard Rue's will appears to have signed his own name to the caveat. On the other hand, the Philadelphia Co. man left a son Joseph and the Israel Rue who was a son of Joseph must have resided close to Bucks Co. in 1803 in order to litigate over Richard's estate, yet no other evidence has been discovered that there were two Israel Rues in the area. Moreover, Israel's brother James was also a carter and resided from 1783 to 1785 on the same Second Street in Northern Liberties where Israel later lived. In fact, Robert Whitehead, who later witnessed a number of Israel's deeds and served as guardian to his children, witnessed the deed by which James Rue leased his property on Second Street.".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Family. Elizabeth was one of the ten children of John Hannis named in his will of 12 Aug 1783 (Phila. Co. LR EF-4:84). Mary Hannis of Passyunk mentioned her daughter Elizabeth Rue in her will of 26 Feb 1787 (Abstracts of Phila. Co. Wills, pt. 5, p. 2456). On four occasions between 2 Mar 1791 and 16 Aug 1800, Israel and Elizabeth sold interests of Elizabeth in land that had been her father's along the east bank of the Schuylkill River in Passyunk township (Phila. Co. LR D-25:414; D-74:99; EF-4:84, 154 & 155). Israel was called a yeoman of Philadelphia in these deeds, which he signed by a mark. Elizabeth was able to sign her name. On 10 May 1791, Israel Rue of Philadelphia, carter, and Elizabeth his wife bought for 160 from the executors of David Schaffer a lot of ground with a small frame tenement on the west side of Second Street extended in Northern Liberties, which land had been part of the "Old Barracks ground" and which had been let to Benjamin Town (whose wife was Sarah) in 1786 (Phila. Co. LR D- 32:372). On 24 Oct 1798, Israel Rue, of the Northern Liberties of the City of Philadelphia . . . Carter," conveyed this property on Second Street to (between Tammany and Green Streets) to his brother-in-law Richard Baker (husband of Elizabeth's sister Mary), in trust: 'for the sole and separate Use Benefit and Behoof of my said Wife Elizabeth Rue her Heirs and assigns so that she my said Wife Elizabeth Notwithstanding her Coverture shall and may have receive and take and dispose of the Rents and Profits of all the said premises as she in her own Discretion separately and without any Controul of me her said Husband or of any other person shall think proper.' (Phila. Co. LR D-72:389). Since this property appears to have been purchased in the first place with the proceeds of Elizabeth's inheritance, it is not at all clear whether this deed signifies some breach in the marital relations between Israel and and his wife, or whether it might suggest that Israel had children by an earlier marriage or that Israel was seeking to protect property from his creditors. The date of Israel's death is uncertain, but his wife Elizabeth had clearly died by 10 Jan 1814, when her son John Rue and Phebe, his wife, sold their interest in the Second Street lot to John Sanders for $450 (Phila. Co. LR IC-29:51). This deed recites that "Elizabeth Rue hath lately departed this life leaving issue three children namely the sd John Rue party hereto Joseph Rue and George Rue." On 11 Nov 1814, Robert Whitehead, one of the witnesses to this deed (and also to several deeds Israel and Elizabeth made in the summer of 1800), was appointed guardian to Joseph and George Rue, who were then under the age of 14 years (Phila. Co. Orphan's Ct. 25:13).".

"My Mother and Father in their early married life lived in Bell Co. Texas, near Belton or Temple, Texas. Then they moved to Hamilton Co. near Hamilton, Tex. and lived there a few years. All that moving was done by oxen teams. In the fall of 1890 they moved to San Angelo, Texas. They had one of oxen team then and several teams of 3 or 4 wagons, horses & mules and a number of Range & saddle horses & cattle. In the spring of 1891 they moved on to Silverton, Tex. they had what they called a chuck wagon. And the women cooked on campfires when they couldn't find wood for fire they cooked cow chips dried for firewood. The Chuck box was on the back of the wagon. The men had to stand Guard at night of the stock. Some days they would only make five or six miles a day with the herd and wagons. My father lived there at Silverton, Tex., Briscoe Co. the rest of his life and ranched- Beulah my oldest just before they arrived at Silverton. Aureba and myself was born after we landed there.".

My mothers aunt, Margaret, married Joseph Birdwell in East Tennessee about the year of 1793 and her sister, Rebecca, married Roger Browning about the same time, and their brother Hugh, married a woman by the name of Ingram when he was an old man. My great-grandmother, Rebecca Boyd, died on, or about the year of 1816 (about 100 year old) in Jackson County, Tennessee. Any other or further information of the desired, address me. The family Bible, I expect is in the possession of the Birdwell family who resided in Jackson County, Tennessee, the last I knew of them.

"His grandfather and an uncle were also named Joab, in North Carolina, born 1794 in Tennessee. Joab moved to Scott County, Arkansas, 'Centennial History of Arkansas' titled A.C. Brooks, say Joab was married in Tennessee. His children were born there. His son, Jacob Brooks, who was a farmer and a Methodist Episcopal minister until 1884 when Jacob died, followed Joab to Arkansas. Names of other children, if any, were not named. Joab Brooks was the author of the following letter and sworn statement we found that has helped us so much in our research. The letter was an answer to kin in Texas (Jane Mercer Brooks Simpson's descendant) telling them the Lawyers from Ireland had not been to see him and the sworn statement, to distinguish Joab's relationship to Alexander Boyd, Rebecca Boyd McKaughan's father, in Ireland. Found in 'Ancestral Study of Four Families' by Emily Griffith Roberts".

Falloon, Susan J., Our Pope, Brooks, Twilley & Stephens Family. "Tradition says John came to Virginia with his wife and six sons, lived there a short time, then moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina about 1735. This John Brooks lived in Bladen Co., N.C. in 1735. Soon after settling in Bladen Co., NC, John Brooks ESQ. appeared before the counsel appealing to the court to settle a land question. After he had been granted land he built a mill on what he supposed to be his own land. Later the adjoining land was granted and it was found that the mill was on his neighbor's land. The court adjusted the trouble by granting more land to the other grant".

Brooks Genealogy Forum (genforum.genealogy.com/brooks). "Served the American Colonies during the American Revolution. MICAJAH BROOKS was a soldier of the Revolution. His pension claim W. 27649, shows that he was born in Chatham County, N. C., 12-25-1767 The Bible left by his daughter says he was a son of 'John and Jane (May Brooks, and a grandson of John Brooks who was born in England.' Then John Brooks appeared in Bladen County, N. C., in 1735. From there moved with his wife, Susan, and sons, to Orange, now Chatham County, N. C. In 1771 John Brooks, Jr., and his wife, Jane, sold their land in Chatham County, N. C., and later moved to Georgia. The pension paper of Micajah shows that they arrived in Georgia in 1775, They settled In that part of Wilkes County, Ga., that was later included in Warren. Micajah served in the Revolution under Captain Few, George Barber and Col. Elijah Clark in the Georgia Troops. When returning home to North Carolina, he enlisted in Edgefield District, South Carolina, March 1780 or 81 and served three months as a private under Capt. Bartley Martin, Col. Leroy Hammond in the South Carolina Troops. After wards served in the Georgia Troops under Captains John Hill, Joseph Mimms, John Wilson, Stephen Bishop, Samuel Beckam, David Miller and Col. Elijah Clark, and was in an expedition to the Cherokee Nation and was at the surrender of Augusta, Ga.. He was allowed a pension on an application executed 8-19-1850, while a resident of Paulding County. He died 6-15-1862. He married second, about 1839, Margaret T. Carter and she was allowed a pension in 1877 while living in Polk County, Ga. In 1869 she stated that she was sixty years old. Micajah Brooks is the only Revolutionary soldier by that name found in the Revolutionary records. For his services he was granted land in Henry County, GA in the Land Lottery of 1827. Micajah Brooks lived to be 100 years old, and was a well known person through several generations. Jennie Lynne Wingard of Rockmart, Ga., said, I remember my grandmother, Mary Eudora Hubbard Carpenter, telling about her grandfather, Micajah Brooks. She remembered him quite well. She loved to tell how his mother sent him to the mill when he was an overgrown boy of fourteen. "He met up with a recruiting officer, left his horse and meal, joined the Army, and wasn't heard of for several years. They thought he was dead." Evidently Micajah was remembering his old home in Chatham County, N. C., and the girl he left behind, as this was an opportunity to get back to the land of his nativity. The trek back was long and hard. He stopped in South Carolina where he had kinsmen living, and enlisted for more se rvice. Then went on to Chatham County, N. C., and married before returning home. When he returned to North Carolina in about 1785 during the Revolution he married Mary Hunter of Chatham County, N. C., daughter of Elisha Hunter, a German Seaman, whose wife was Margaret Stute. They settled first in Wilkes County, Ga. (now Warren Co.) then moved to Putnam County, then to Jasper County and finally settled in Paulding County, a part of which is now Polk County, Ga. He moved to Paulding County soon after the territory was surveyed in 1832 . Micajah Brooks and his son John Brooks and wife, Elizabeth, and his daughter Nancy and her husband, Woodson Hubbard, received land grants now known as the Everette plantation in Polk County, Ga. The original grant and deeds are now in the possession of Mr. and Mrs. James Everette. Some of the original rooms of the Micajah Brooks home are now a part of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jam es Everette. These rooms are made of brick that were made near the home and they were not destroyed when the home burned several years ago. These two rooms are said to be the first brick building erected in the county. The deed by which John Brooks, son of Micajah, deeded the property to Hosea Camp in 1849 is also in the possession of Mr. Everette. The cemetery in which Micajah Brooks is buried was given by his son-in-law, Woodson Hubbard, as a family burying ground about 1850 and in 1851 Nancy Brooks Hubbard, wife of Woodson Hubbard, was the first person to be buried there. After the homeplace was sold to Hosea Camp, Micajah Brooks moved to Fish Creek and settled on a hill above a large spring. Here he lived with his second wife, Margaret T. Carter. This last homestead was sold by his widow, Margaret, and their son, Green L. Brooks to L. W. Harris in 1868. On Sept. 19, 1878 L. W. Harris sold it to William Phillips, husband of Caroline Frances Wilson Phillips, a granddaughter of Micajah Brooks. William Mitchell Phillips gave this place to his eldest daughter, Nancy Jane Phillips Blissette and after her death her youngest daughter, Jane Lillian Blissette Thacker, bought the old home at public auction and it is now in her possession. The William Witcher Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, unveiled a marker, with appropriate ceremonies, at the grave of Micajah Brooks, Revolutionary Soldier, on May 31st, 1950. The marker was rededicated by the Chapter and the descendants of Micajah Brooks on February 21st, 1999"

Of my mother's generation, her only living brother is David. Of their spouses, the only living ones are Evelyn (Bernard's wife) and Julia (Sam's wife). David's first wife, Rosalind, died in the late 60's, and he remarried Elaine, in about '71.

Alan Cearley of Dalton, Georgia, e-mail to Thomas Rue of Monticello, New York (3 Feb 2004). "As for the story of Marcus killing the son-in-law..... My grandmother (bn. 1907, still living with a wonderfully good mind), the dau. of Carrie Anderson Owenby, and the granddaughter of Martha Ann Morrow, says her granny would talk about how her daddy killed the son-in-law for beating her sister. Apparently he did it more than once because Marcus told him if he ever did it again, he would kill him. This is why they moved west. He fled the police. He is not on the 1870 Census. They ended up in Ark. and you know the rest. I believe that it was Arrenia's husband, Pleasant Page that he killed. Uncle John Morrow returned for a visit sometime in the early 1900s. He brought 2 suitcases, one with fine clothes and one with common clothes so he could dress as the people in NC.".

Alan Cearley of Dalton, Georgia, e-mail to Thomas Rue of Monticello, New York (3 Feb 2004). "I just talked to my grandmother. I had not known about Sophonia Morrow nor James A. Morrow. My grandmother always said that her grandmother had a half-sister but I could never find her on a census. She could not remember her name. She did not know about James Alphus. She said if her granny talked about him she did not remember it. She did talk about the killing and that it was her granny's half-sister. That leaves Arrenia out. So, when I mentioned Sophronia's name she was like "Oh yes, she was the one. Great grandpa killed her husband because he beat her. He warned him that if he did it again he would kill him. He beat him again and he killed him. Marcus fled west taking Saphronia with him, saying that he would send for the rest later. When he settled in Ark. the rest followed. Martha and Arrenia stayed behind." She didn't know if Sophronia had married before the Morrows came to Cherokee Co. NC/Fannin Co. GA area or after. She does know where the killing happened. Her grandparents, Williiam Harvey and Martha Ann Morrow Anderson lived in Fannin Co. Ga. very close to the Cherokee Co., NC line. Her sister Sophronia lived just up from them in Ga. You could still see the house when my grandmother was a grown woman. Don't know if it is stiill there. Don't know the murdered man's name. She guesses that they said it but don't have any recollection of it.

"He died intestate latter part of July 1716 and his estate administered 4 Aug. 1716 by Clearanna, his widow, with James Cobb and William Billingsley, Jr. as bondsmen for 100 pounds.

Davis, Harry Alexander, The Billingsley Family in America, p. 23. "He became interested in the vessel which his aunt owned and which his father operated. When his parents returned to Maryland he remained in Virginia with his aunt and assisted in the operation of the vessel. He married Jan. 1669 Sarah Ann, daughter of William Billingsley, born Virginia 1652 and his first cousin. During the year 1670 they moved to St. Mary's County, Maryland, where he purchased another vessel and continued in maritime trade. In 1673 they returned to Virginia and about 1675 76 they moved to Calvert County, Maryland. He does not appear to have owned much land. In 1684 he became possessed of 100 acres called 'Addition' from his father. From this time there appears an estrangement between John and Francis, his brother. Francis appears with the major portion of his father's holdings, whether his marriage to his cousin had any relation to this is possible but not definitely known. Owing to loss of deed records in Culvert County it is not known by what means he came into possession of 200 acres part of a tract called 'Mears'. He apparently gave to his son, William, the tract called 'Addition' upon his marriage in 1691. John died in the year 1693 having been lost at sea during a storm. Rent Rolls of 1694 show 200 acres of 'Mears' owned by Widow Billingsley. She disposed of this land as Rent Rolls show it was sold July 1710 by Sarah Talbot to Richard Johns. She married (2) about 1699 William Brown, they moved to Richmond County, Virginia where he was granted 38 acres of land 1709. (Lib. 3, fol. 230.) She died 1712 13. No children by 2d marriage".

Davis, Harry Alexander, The Billingsley Family in America. "He married about 1651 Sarah Bowman, born Essex County, Virginia circa 1635. They settled in Richmond County where he owned a small farm and also a small vessel and was mostly engaged in transporting commodities in coast. trade. He died Dec. 1657 having been struck by a boom on his vessel. Sarah moved to Culvert County, Maryland early in 1656 having been 'Transported' by her brother in law Francis Billingsley. She remained at his home during the year and then returned to Virginia With Francis and his family in 1659. She remarried (2) in 1663 a William Evart, and is stated to have died about 1690".

Stokes, Albert L., The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey "The Rue Family" (Sept 1970).

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ancestral File (TM). gives birthdate as "abt. 1653 of Bensalem, Bucks, Pennsylvania". submitted by William J. Utermohlen of Alexandria, Virginia.

Stokes, Albert L., The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey. "MATTHEW RUE, the progenitor of this family in New Jersey, was on Staten Island as early as July 1679 when he witnessed a deed of gift from Estienne Gayneau to his son Stephen, about to wed Sussannah Usselton (Book 6, page 168, Div. of Land Records, Albany, and AG 19:17)".

Stokes, Albert L., The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey. "Subsequent to 1679 he owned and undoubtedly lived on a tract of land near the mouth of the Kennebec River, in the present state of Maine but then in York County, Massachusetts. A deed of 'Matthew Rue, dated Nov. 20, 1683, was recorded Mar. 5, 1721/2--'Between Matthew Rew Late of Kenebeck River In Ye Province of Maine to the Eastward, Yoeman Now Resident on Staten Island In ye Province of New York on ye one Part and Richard Pateshall of Boston in New England, Merchant on the other Part.' It further mentions 'where Matthew Rew built his dwelling house.' Matthew signed with a mark. As no wife joined in the deed, it is reasonable to assume that he was a widower. The property was located opposite Lee's Island in the Kennebec River". Note 1 in article states, "York Deeds, Book 10. The writer is indebted to the late Mrs. Sarah Rue Powers, who supplied him with a copy of the deed and also pinpointed the location of the property conveyed".

Stokes, Albert L., The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey. "On Staten Island, Matthew La Rue received a grant from Governor Dongan on Dec. 23, 1685. Of course Matthew had this land before the grant, which merely confirmed title already passed, but there is no record of any deed in the land records (Book A, the earliest, is missing)".

Stokes, Albert L., The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey. "Matthew died before Oct. 30, 1722, as evidenced by a survey of that date referring to 'Land laid out for John Rue which was due him by virtue of a grant to his father Matthew Rue formerly of Staten Island, deceased' (Staten Island deeds, Book C, p. 100). This proves that John Rue was the son of Matthew. The relationship of this John to Matthew and James Rue, obviously his contemporaries, is not clear, but it is supposed that they are brothers. In 1732 they were of the Province of Pennsylvania".

Stokes, Albert L., The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey. "JOHN RUE... was, according to the records of Rev. Elisha Boudinot Stockton [NJ Historical Society], born in 1679. The source of Stockton's information if not stated, but since this John Rue received a grant of land near the falls of the Delaware on Nov. 17, 1699 (NJD, Book B, p. 719), he may well have been born before 1679. In the Staten Island census, believed to have been taken about 1706, his age is given as forty-three. The same census gives Matthew Rue, age 25; Matthew Rue, age 20; and a boy Matthew. John's wife Peternell is listed but no age is given. The Stockton records give her birth year as 1686 without revealing the source"
.

Stokes, Albert L., The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey. "In a deed for a lot in Perth Amboy, dated 1716, he is called a cordwainer of Richmond County, N.Y. (NJD). This lot was sold in 1732 to Matthew and James Rue of the Province of Pennsylvania. There is a strong possibility that these are brothers of John".

Stokes, Albert L., The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey. In his will, dated Jan. 6., 1756, and proved Mar. 6, 1775 (NJW),´ he refers to himself as a yoeman of Matchaponex, Middlesex County, in the Eastern Division of the Province of New Jersey. His wife Peternell is mentioned and provided for but she is not further identified, a task which has stumped the experts for several generations. Besides sons Matthew, William, John, and Joseph, grandchildren Joseph William, John, sons of son Matthew deceased, are specificaly mentioned and bequeathed land at Manalapan. These in addition to the other four sons of son Matthew are to support Marget Rue, the wife of son Matthew. No daughters are mentioned and there is no indication that there were any. There is no inventory, which may indicate that John had been dead some years before probate".

Stokes, Albert L., The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey. "His will (NJW) dated Feb. 1, 1755, and proved Nov. 13, 1755, leaves to his wife Margaret one-third of the moveable estate and requires her maintenance by his six sons while his wide. Each son gets 100 acres, while daughters get two-thirds of the movable estate. Executors: brothers William and Joseph. His widow married a third time to James Dey, Nov. 24, 1760 (NJB)".

Watson, Don Holland of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, From Beyond Remembrance: LaRue and Allied Families. "From 'FLANDERS & ARTHOIS GENEALOGIE': In the village of Warhem, in Westhoeck Province, during 'les terribles annies' (the terrible years) of epidemics of cholera, Jean La Rue listed as Librarian; Pierre Scabel listed as 'Cordonnier' and Godparent to a La Rue baby. (Pierre Scabel was Godparent to Abraham La Rue the Immigrant, who is our common ancestor for the La Rue and Larew families of the 'New World', beginning circa 1678).".

Watson, Don Holland of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, From Beyond Remembrance: LaRue and Allied Families. Nicholas D'AILLY and wife came on the ship 'Faith' with their 15-year-old son, Jan, who was born in Mannheim in 1663. This nails down the year of arrival! The record shows that the D'AILLY family was from Flanders-Artois, the precise area of the sub-province of Lalleou, the home of the LeROUX/LaRUE families, Anthoine being from the town of Wicres. Abraham the immigrant, his uncle, aunt, and two (or three) cousins traveleled together on the 'Faith'. Jan D'AILLY married Susan LaRUE HELLING, widow of Tunis Hendricks HELLING and sister of Jacques LaRUE (born Huguenot colony, Manheim, 1656), in 1688 or 1689, in Hackensack, Bergen County, New Jersey! Assuming that Jan was younger than Susan by five years (Susan was born in 1658), Jan was born in 1663 and the arrival of the Faith was in 1678. This clearly underlines family relationships. Further, Jan D'AILLY (spelling variations were AILLE, ALLEE, ALYEA) joined the Dutch church at Hackensack 22 Sep 1694, transferring from the Huguenot church! Certainly he had grown up in the Huguenot colony in Mannheim, and the name d'ALLEE is French Huguenot, but his 5th child, Susanna, was baptized in the Dutch Reformed church in Hackensack on 10 Mar 1694. Jan's second marriage was to Marit Je De GRAVE, definitely a Dutch name, and Susanna may have been her child. It should be noted that the first marriage of Susanna LEROU, 'young lady of Mannheim', was to Thomas HENDRICKS, 'young man of New York,' on 11 Jun 1683, after five years of involuntary servitude, clearly establishing the arrival date as 1678. Remember! Our calendar hasn't always been as it is now, and it was customary to write, for example, 1678/78 during one of the conversion periods. Abraham the immigrant was estimating when he gave the arrival year as 1680! One final piece of evidence: In 1997, my sister, Martha, discovered the petition of this Susanna LeROU for release from 5 years of involuntary servitude, and to establish herself as a citizen. The year? 1683!".

Watson, Don Holland of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, From Beyond Remembrance: LaRue and Allied Families. J. Ray [Franklin] does not agree that the Magdeleine Gillet of Mannheim was the wife of Abraham LaRue, the Immigrant. He and Dr. Karl Larew, historian, believe that Abraham's wife was Magdelaine Uzille, born December 1662 on Manhattan Island. J. Ray relates that Magdelaine's father was an infant (given the name 'David of Ousille') rescued after a Catholic attack on the Huguenots living in the village of "Ousille-la-Riviere." His rescuer was one Marie Taine, about 16 years old. She married a survivor of the attack, Phillip Casier, and the three of them fled by ship to Martinique, becoming indentured servants. They remained there for 20 years, where Marie Casier was born. They returned to France upon the issuance of the Edict of Nantes, but, finding none of their relatives, moved on to Calais, where David changed his name to 'Uzille' to accomodate the Flemish-speaking persons in the area. Allegedly, both 'Ousille' and 'Uzille' are pronounced 'Sealy', as in the mattress. David married his step-sister Marie Casier. When the Netherlands were ceded to Spain at the end of the 30 years war (1648) they were caught in Calais. Louis duBois led them through the Spanish Netherlands to Leiden, then on to Mannheim up the Rhein river - the roads were too dangerous and few people would shelter escaping Huguenots. I have long suspected that the Rhein was one means of escape (in fact, my French contacts via teletype in 1980 verified that). They came to 'the New World' on the same ship that Louis duBois came on, J. Ray says. In Harlem the 'Uzille' family joined the Dutch Reformed Church - Calvin, and the gentlemen who noted their membership on the church role spelled the name 'Zheel'. That was subsequently translated to Gille, but at the time, pronounced Sealy. Later, it became Gill, and Vince Gill, the country-western singer from Oklahoma City, is one of our "cousins". His mother and my wife, Marga, often visited at Ingrid's Kitchen, a German bakery and delicatessen, where Marga worked before retirement. According to J.

Bulmer, History and Directory of North Yorkshire (1890). "At an early date, the lands of this parish belonged to the priory of Healaugh park, then established here. We find, from its first charter, that, before 1203, Bertram Haget gave to Gilbert, a monk of Marmonstier, and to his successors, "the lands of the hermitage or desert which is in the wood of Healaugh, viz. that land towards the east, where the water is wont to run and passe from the bridge called Lairbridge, to the passage anciently called Sangneat," to found a religious house. On the site of the hermitage, was built a church, dedicated to St. John the Evangelist, and some religious were stationed here. In or about 1218, a priory of Black Canons was established by Jordan de S. Maria, and Alice, his wife, who was granddaughter to Bertram Haget. Edward II. granted to the prior free warren in all his demesne lands in Healaugh, Wighill, &c. The possessions of the priory lay in the vicinity of the house. At the Dissolution, there were fourteen canons here, with a revenue of £86 5s. 9d. In 1540, the site of the priory came into the possession of James Gage, Esq., who alienated it to Sir Arthur D'Arcy, Knight, after which it became the residence of the Marquis of Wharton. The present proprietor, as was said above, is E. Brooksbank, Esq., and the old manor house, the remains of the priory, is now a farm house".

Bulmer, History and Directory of North Yorkshire. "In 1150, Bertram Haget here founded the Priory of Syningthwaite, for a Prioress and 12 nuns of the Cistercian order. It was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, and the grant was confirmed by the lord of the manor, Roger de Mowbray, and by the Archbishop of York, Godfrey de Ludhane. The priory possesses considerable lands, rents, &c., in the county, and the advowson of the church at Bilton. At the Dissolution its revenues were of the clear annual value of £60 9s. 2d., and the site was granted in 1539 to Sir Thomas Tempest, Knight. The remains of this establishment are moated round, and enclose an area of 459 acres 3 roods 21 perches, according to Ordnance Survey".

Tibbals, Alva Owens in, History of Pulaski County, Kentucky compiled by Grace Owens Moore, Bagdad, Kentucky (1952), pp. 47-48. "William Owens came here from Virginia before Pulaski County was formed. He was of Welsh descent, the son of William Owens and his wife, Jude, whose maiden name is not known. William was born November 10, 1750 in Virginia and married Nancy Owens, his cousin, September 20 or 30, 1773, in the Shenandoah Valley. Nancy was the daughter of Vincent Owens, whose wife was Winifred Le Hue (Lehew), the daughter of Peter Le Hue and his wife, Frances Allen. Peter Le Hue, a Huguenot, was born in 1692 in France. He came to America before 1707-12, settling at Front Royal, Virginia. 'In 1760 Peter Le Hue was the leading citizen with the best house applied for, and was granted a license to keep an ordinary." A family legend, handed down from one generation to the next, says, 'Peter Le Hue was shipped out of France at the time of the Revolution in a ventilated wine cask.' William Owens, the subject of this sketch, was a Revolutionary soldier who served as first sergeant in Captain James Newell's Company, Colonel Preston's Regiment. He and his wife, with several of their children, came here and settled on the bluff overlooking Pitman Creek, near the present town of Elihu. He built a one-room log cabin, which is now the living room of the house where Mrs. Lum Allen and her son Edwin are living. He died in the same house in 1836. He and his wife Nancy are buried in the old Baptist Cemetery in Somerset. They were the parents of six boys and six girls. Of their children who married into the family of Samuel Newell were William, who married Margaret Newell, and Nancy, who married Samuel Newell, the brother of Margaret. The remaining children were: Judah; Reuben, married Sally Lockhart, moved to Clinton County; Jane, married Samuel Tate, lived in Pulaski County; Sarah, married Hansford Price, lived in Pulaski County; Rebecca, married Wesley Short, moved to Indiana; Avy, married John Short, moved to Indiana; Lavina, married Reuben Short, moved to Indiana; John, married Ann Chesney, lived in Pulaski County; and Martin, married Polly Chesney, moved to Rockcastle County. Two of these sons Samuel and Martin, were Baptist preachers, Martin being one of the early ministers of the Flat Lick Baptist Church. The Shorts and Samuel Owens emigrated to Indiana. Their descendants are living near Bedford and Bloomington, Indiana, today. There are many descendants of those who remained in Pulaski. One of them was Samuel Tate, a great-grandson who, at the age of eighty-four, wrote a history of the Owens family, from which the following quotation is taken: 'Grandfather Owens was quite wealthy when he died. He had fifteen Negro servants and several likely young men (Negroes) and women who were bought at his sale and taken south by traders. Grandfather lived with his daughter Jane and her husband [Samuel Tate] until her death. She kept one Negro man and woman to wait on her. When Grandfather went to housekeeping the family bedding was made of bearskins'".

"The Battle at Sherriffmuir 1715". "Shortly after George I. was proclaimed King, a Scottish rising, led by the Earl of Mar, proclaimed James king at Braemar and marched south. Bobbing John, as Mar was known, had been one of the signatories of the Treaty of Union, had served as Secretary for Scotland under Queen Anne and had at the beginning of the new reign hastened to declare himself the "faithful and dutiful subject and servant" of King George. But he had been disappointed by the latter's cool response and had accordingly made or resumed contact with the exiled Court. On receiving James's letter, he disbuised himself, however unconvincingly, as a workman and boarded a collier bound for Scotland. Arriving there towards the middle of August, he summoned his friends and neighbours to a great tinchal or hunting party on the Braes of Mar in Aberdeenshire and there acquainted them with what was afoot. Three weeks later, on 6 September, he publicly proclaimed James VIII and III as King and raised the old Scottish standard at Castletown in Braemar. At first the rising prospered. No less than twelve thousand armed Jacobite clansmen rallied to the Royal standard and many of the northern towns readily declared for King James. By mid-September Mar had without much difficulty established himself in Perth. Between him and the English border lay only two thousand Government troops based on Stirling. These were, however, commanded by John, Second Duke of Argyll, and experienced soldier, already famous as Red John of the Battles. Mar, on the other hand, was no kind of military leader. Having somehow succeeded in capturing Perth, he lingered there for weeks, missing the opportunity thus offered for swift action against an enemy as yet outnumbered and unprepared. At length, in the second week of November, more than two months after the start of the Rising, Mar and his main force slowly set out from Perth in the direction of Stirling. "a la bonne aventure", wrote one of them, 'the blind leading the blind, not knowing whither we were going or what we were to do'. Argyll moved to meet him and on the morning of 13 November the two armies met at Sheriffmuir in the Ochil Hillls, a couple of miles to the north of Dunblane. In the engagement that followed, the Macleans and MacDonalds occupied the right of the line. From them something more was at stake than the future of this dynasty or the other. They were once again fighting for their existence as clans against their hereditary enemies, the all-pervading Campbells.".

The Columbia Encyclopedia 6th Edition (2003), Columbia University Press. Mar, John Erskine, 6th (or 11th) earl of -- 1675-1732, Scottish nobleman, leader of the Jacobites. He was nicknamed "Bobbing John," probably because of his political vacillation. He succeeded his father as earl in 1689 and in the following years was generally a member of the court party. He was twice secretary of state for Scotland under Queen Anne and played a leading part in promoting the union (1707) with England. After the accession (1714) of George I, he made an effusive offer of his services but was dismissed. He then withdrew secretly to Scotland, where he raised (1715) the standard for James Francis Edward Stuart, the Old Pretender, without orders from him to do so. The rebellion failed, largely through Mar’s incompetence. He was defeated at Sheriffmuir and fled (1716) to France with the Pretender. He was attainted of treason in England, but his active dissatisfaction with the Jacobite court and his suspected treachery caused the Pretender also to break with him in 1724. Mar remained in exile until his death.". On the web at http://www.bartleby.com/65/ma/Mar-John6.html.

Hey for Sandy Don!
Hey for Cockolorum!
Hey for Bobbing John,
And his Highland quorum!
Mony a sword and lance
Swings at Highland hurdie;
How they'll skip and dance
Over the bum o' Geordie!. 'Bobbing John' is a reference to John, Earl of Mar, who, at the time this song was made, was recruiting highlanders for the Hanoverian cause.

Relatives encircled Dad's bed for his final breath - Mom, Tom, Gail, Mary, Mike - and the resident Huggins family including John, Tommy, Michael, Maggie. It was a simultaneously wonderful and sorrowful moment that was intensely emotional. Dad led a remarkable life through extrodinary times. Each of his decendants have demonstrated love and respect for this man. His last years were marked by extreme physical pain and its frustrations. For some, unfortunately, this is how Dad will be defined to them. To the rest of us, we will take comfort in the lessons of love, respect, responsibility, discipline, and self-accountability that this man has personally represented and instilled in each one of us. He is merely mortal, but a mortal that made the most of his time on Earth by investing his energies into his family, faith, and high standards for living a great life. I encourage you to respond to this message so we can share thoughts and feelings in the effort to gain healthy, happy closure on Dad's passing. =Mahoney Circus Websiet, 11/23/02 By Mike Bristol, November 22, 2002 Thomas Patrick Bristol passed away at 07:11 AM in Las Vegas, NV.

U.S. Department of War, Military Records - C.S.A., M381 roll 25. 13th Infantry Regiment was organized in July, 1861, at Lightwoodknot Springs, near Columbia, South Carolina. Many of the men were recruited in Greenville, Newberry, Abbeville, and Spartanburg counties. After three months of instruction at Lightwoodknot Springs the unit moved to the coast of South Carolina near Pocotaligo. In April, 1862, it was ordered to Virginia and assigned to General Gregg's and McGowan's Brigade. The 13th was prominent in the campaigns of the Army of Northern Virginia from the Seven Days' Battles to Cold Harbor, then continued the fight in the Petersburg trenches and around Appomattox. It took 413 effectives to Gaines' Mill and 342 to Frayser's Farm, lost 26 killed and 118 wounded at Second Manassas, had 5 killed and 24 wounded at Ox Hill, and lost 3 killed and 52 wounded at Fredericksburg. The unit sustained 91 casualties at Chancellorsville, 130 of 390 at Gettysburg, 63 at The Wilderness, 86 at Spotsylvania, 49 from May 12 to July 1, 1864, 42 at Deep Bottom, 32 at Fussell¿s Mill, and 34 at Poplar Springs Church. It surrendered 13 officers and 183 men. The field officers were Colonels Benjamin T. Brockman, Oliver E. Edwards, and Isaac F. Hunt; Lieutenant Colonels P. Ludlow Calhoun, T. Stabo Farrow, and William Lester; and Majors David R. Duncan and Joseph L. Wofford.

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Famil y (unpublished mss. dated 19 Nov 1996). "James and Matthew are linked by their common origin in Staten Island a nd their common destination in Bucks County, where they appear to have l ived opposite one another along Neshaminy Creek. A familial connection i s further suggested by both James and Matthew having named children Ric hard, Matthew, Catherine and Mary. Their relationship as brothers, howe ver, is most strongly suggested by their joint acquisition, on 9 May 17 32, of a lot of land belonging to John Rue in Perth Amboy, New Jersey ( Rue Families p. 4, citing NJ Secy of State Deed Book 1-2, p. 194, close t 13).

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Famil y (unpublished mss. dated 19 Nov 1996). "On 18 November 1779, Colonel George Rogers Clark presented Richard Rue 's claim to a [400] acre right of settlement and an 1000 acre preemptio n 'on the head Waters of [Drennon's] Lick Creek' before the Virginia la nd commissioners sitting at the Falls of the Ohio. Rue's right to the l and was described as his "improving the same & building a Cabbin &c in t he year 1776 and residing in the country ever since" (S. Emmet Lucas, J r., Certificate Book of the Virginia Land Commission of 1779-80 [Rpt. E asley, S.C., 1981], p. 48). Rue was granted a certificate for this lan d, which lay in what later became Henry County. It seems likely, howev er, that he did not settle permanently on that land until about 1794. I n 1789, Rue is listed in the tax list for Fayette County and in 1791 an d 1792 he was taxed in Woodford County, which was set off from Fayette C ounty (Charles Brunk Heinemann, "First Census" of Kentucky 1790, p. 83 [ Washington, D.C., 1940]; Woodford County, KY Tax Lists [FHL Microfilm # 8280]). No later than 1795, he went to the part of Shelby County, Kent ucky that became Henry County in 1798 (Shelby County, KY Tax Lists [FHL m icrofilm #8227]; Henry County, KY Tax Lists [FHL microfilm #8037]). In 1 796, Rue was appointed a Justice of the Peace for Shelby County (Kentuc ky State Historical Society, Collections, vol. 28, p. 301). His home w as evidently well-known, as it was used as a landmark in the late 1790s ( Karen Mauer Green, The Kentucky Gazette 1787-1800: Genealogical and His torical Abstracts, pp. 136, 187, 203, 212 (Baltimore 1983).".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Famil y (unpublished mss. dated 19 Nov 1996). "Israel Rue is mentioned in the 28 Jul 1796 will of his uncle Richard R ue and filed a caveat against that will, which was tried at the May 180 3 term of the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas, resulting in a verdic t against Israel and for $2000 in damages. The actual probate of the w ill was delayed until 7 Feb 1806, perhaps by an appeal (Bucks Co. est. # 3383). The entire account below assumes that the Israel Rue of Philadel phia Co. is the same as the Israel who was a son of Joseph Rue, but is o pen to the objection that the Philadelphia Co. man signed every deed wi th a mark, while the Israel who objected to Richard Rue's will appears t o have signed his own name to the caveat. On the other hand, the Phila delphia Co. man left a son Joseph and the Israel Rue who was a son of J oseph must have resided close to Bucks Co. in 1803 in order to litigate o ver Richard's estate, yet no other evidence has been discovered that th ere were two Israel Rues in the area. Moreover, Israel's brother James w as also a carter and resided from 1783 to 1785 on the same Second Stree t in Northern Liberties where Israel later lived. In fact, Robert Whit ehead, who later witnessed a number of Israel's deeds and served as gua rdian to his children, witnessed the deed by which James Rue leased his p roperty on Second Street.".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Famil y (unpublished mss. dated 19 Nov 1996). Elizabeth was one of the ten children of John Hannis named in his will o f 12 Aug 1783 (Phila. Co. LR EF-4:84). Mary Hannis of Passyunk mention ed her daughter Elizabeth Rue in her will of 26 Feb 1787 (Abstracts of P hila. Co. Wills, pt. 5, p. 2456). On four occasions between 2 Mar 1791 a nd 16 Aug 1800, Israel and Elizabeth sold interests of Elizabeth in lan d that had been her father's along the east bank of the Schuylkill Rive r in Passyunk township (Phila. Co. LR D-25:414; D-74:99; EF-4:84, 154 & 1 55). Israel was called a yeoman of Philadelphia in these deeds, which h e signed by a mark. Elizabeth was able to sign her name. On 10 May 179 1, Israel Rue of Philadelphia, carter, and Elizabeth his wife bought fo r 160 from the executors of David Schaffer a lot of ground with a small f rame tenement on the west side of Second Street extended in Northern Li berties, which land had been part of the "Old Barracks ground" and whic h had been let to Benjamin Town (whose wife was Sarah) in 1786 (Phila. C o. LR D- 32:372). On 24 Oct 1798, Israel Rue, of the Northern Libertie s of the City of Philadelphia . . . Carter," conveyed this property on S econd Street to (between Tammany and Green Streets) to his brother-in-l aw Richard Baker (husband of Elizabeth's sister Mary), in trust: 'for t he sole and separate Use Benefit and Behoof of my said Wife Elizabeth R ue her Heirs and assigns so that she my said Wife Elizabeth Notwithstan ding her Coverture shall and may have receive and take and dispose of t he Rents and Profits of all the said premises as she in her own Discret ion separately and without any Controul of me her said Husband or of an y other person shall think proper.' (Phila. Co. LR D-72:389). Since th is property appears to have been purchased in the first place with the p roceeds of Elizabeth's inheritance, it is not at all clear whether this d eed signifies some breach in the marital relations between Israel and a nd his wife, or whether it might suggest that Israel had children by an e arlier marriage or that Israel was seeking to protect property from his c reditors. The date of Israel's death is uncertain, but his wife Elizabe th had clearly died by 10 Jan 1814, when her son John Rue and Phebe, hi s wife, sold their interest in the Second Street lot to John Sanders fo r $450 (Phila. Co. LR IC-29:51). This deed recites that "Elizabeth Rue h ath lately departed this life leaving issue three children namely the s d John Rue party hereto Joseph Rue and George Rue." On 11 Nov 1814, Ro bert Whitehead, one of the witnesses to this deed (and also to several d eeds Israel and Elizabeth made in the summer of 1800), was appointed gu ardian to Joseph and George Rue, who were then under the age of 14 year s (Phila. Co. Orphan's Ct. 25:13).".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Famil y (unpublished mss. dated 19 Nov 1996). "Christopher was named for his grandfather Stoffel Vansand and was some times called by the variants Stophel or Christoffel. He married Ann Mo ore, the daughter of John Moore, on 25 Mar 1769 at the First Baptist Ch urch of Philadelphia. Ann was late of Upper Merion township, Montgomer y Co., Pennsylvania on 8 Dec 1801, when administration was granted on h er estate. Stophel Rue was a yeoman of Middletown on 29 Dec 1773 and 7 A pr 1775 when he and his wife Ann conveyed portions of his inheritance: 7 + acres to Daniel Larrew (Bucks Co. LR 18:289) and 83+ acres to William B roadnax (LR 17:297). A Christoffel Rue served in 5th Associated Co. of M iddletown township on 21 Aug 1775. Ann Rue's father lived at Upper Meri on township, Philadelphia (later Montgomery) County, which township was a djacent to the Chester County township of Tredyffrin. After disposing o f his land in Bucks County, Christopher shifted his residence to the vi cinity of Tredyffrin and the adjacent Chester Co. township of Easttown. T he first step was his purchase, on 12 Apr 1775 while he still resided a t Middletown, of two adjacent parcels of land from Sebastian Rink and w ife of Philadelphia for 470 (Chester Co. LR T:326). The two tracts wer e in Tredyffrin township on the north side of the great road from Phila delphia to Lancaster, consisting of 40 acres and 34 perches and 30 acre s respectively, and bounded by Samuel John, George Kingone, Captain Cal vert, Evan Davies and Captain Isaac Wain. Christopher Rue was called " late of Middletown township in the County Bucks but now of Tredyffrin t ownship in the County of Chester" on 25 Feb 1779, when he and his wife A nn sold the two tracts (Chester Co. LR H2:187). Christopher Rue of East town township, Chester Co., suffered losses inflicted by the British Ar my (History of Chester County, Penn p. 107 [Philadelphia 1881]), which l osses presumably occurred during the British invasion and occupation of P hiladelphia in 1777 and 1778 but perhaps were not compensated until lat er. In any event, Christopher and Ann Rue were of Easttown on 6 Jun 17 80, when they conveyed her interest as daughter of John Moore in land l ocated in Upper Merion township, Philadelphia Co. (Phila. Co. LR D-2:34 5). Christopher probably died prior to the 1790 census, when an Ann Rue i s listed in Montgomery County, with a household consisting of one male a bove 16 and two females. He had certainly died by 25 Sep 1792 when Ann R ue was called his widow in acknowledging their deed of 1779. John Rue o f Tredyffrin township, Chester Co., yeoman, made his will on 5 Dec 1800 , leaving his entire estate to his mother Ann Rue, and appointing Abija h Stephens of Upper Merion township and William Davis of Tredyffrin tow nship as his executors (Chester Co. est. #4836). His estate totalled 7 9.18.9, including 247 pounds of bacon, 10 bushels of oats, flax, 13 acr es of grain in the ground and 9 gallons of whiskey. Among those who re ceived payments from John's executors were Nicholas Bower, Richard Rue a nd Philip Shur. Nicholas Bower was granted administration of the estate o f Ann Rue on 8 Dec 1801 in Montgomery Co (Pa. Geneal. Soc., Mont. Co. W ill Abs. I:415). Although Ann was said to be of Upper Merion township, M ontgomery Co. at the time of her death, the sale of her personalty, mos tly household items, took place on 24 Dec 1801 at the dwelling house of P hillip Shur in Charlestown township, Chester Co., suggesting that she h ad lived with Shur at some point and probably that he was a son-in-law ( Vendue Paper, Estate of Ann Rue, Montg. Co. est. #14,945). Philip Shur b ought 18 items at the sale. Other persons purchasing items at the sale i ncluded Richard Rue, Ezekiel Shur, Elizabeth Shur, Richard More and Sam uel Shur. The administrator's account of 5 Apr 1803 shows monies recei ved from the estate of John Rue and small payments made to Richard Moor e, Lewis Rue (probably Christopher's brother) and Philip Shur.".

Pennsylvania Archives, 3d Series, vol. 13, p. 97. "Benjamin Rue and Lewis Rue, probably his brother, appear in the tax li st for Ridley, Chester County in 1779. Benjamin was taxed on 155 acres o f land, one negro, two horses and four cattle. In 1780, both again app ear in the Ridley list, although in that year two Lewis Rues are listed . In May 1780, Benjamin and Lewis Rue were among the inhabitants of Ti nicum, an island in the Delaware River, who petitioned the Justices of t he court of Quarter Sessions for Chester County to set Tinicum off from R idley as a separate township. This petition was allowed on 31 Aug 1780 ( Chester Co. Twp. School & Election District Papers, vol. 1, p. 83). Tha t same summer, on 31 Jul 1780, Capt. Benjamin Rue of "Tinicum Township" a cquired, for 600, the interests of Elioner Culin, Margaret Wilson and S arah Truland, the three grown daughters of John and Christian (Boon) Ju stison, in "Sundry Islands of Land and marsh situate in the River Delaw are." Such rights included both the interests that may have belonged t o John Justison and those that had originally been Andrew Boon's and ha d then descended to his son Swanson Boon and then to Swanson's daughter C hristian, the wife of Justison (Phila. Co. LR D-3:341). Benjamin's pur pose in acquiring such an attenuated right appears to have been to arm h im with paper title to some of the former property of Joseph Galloway, a B ritish sympathizer. The Pennsylvania government had declared Galloway' s estates forfeited in 1779 and sold the land in February and May 1780. ".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Famil y (unpublished mss. dated 19 Nov 1996). "That same summer, on 31 Jul 1780, Capt. Benjamin Rue of "Tinicum Towns hip" acquired, for -L600, the interests of Elioner Culin, Margaret Wils on and Sarah Truland, the three grown daughters of John and Christian ( Boon) Justison, in "Sundry Islands of Land and marsh situate in the Riv er Delaware." Such rights included both the interests that may have be longed to John Justison and those that had originally been Andrew Boon' s and had then descended to his son Swanson Boon and then to Swanson's d aughter Christian, the wife of Justison (Phila. Co. LR D-3:341). Benja min's purpose in acquiring such an attenuated right appears to have bee n to arm him with paper title to some of the former property of Joseph G alloway, a British sympathizer. The Pennsylvania government had declar ed Galloway's estates forfeited in 1779 and sold the land in February a nd May 1780. The property Benjamin acquired through this purchase inclu ded a one-third undivided interest in "Hog Island" (formerly "Boon's Is land"). Benjamin subsequently made a partition of this island with Tho mas Proctor, the other owner, and divided his share into 19 lots, two o f which he and his wife Mary sold to Proctor on 7 Oct 1782 (Phila. Co. L R D-18:76). Beginning in 1780, Proctor, Rue and others were engaged in a l engthy struggle with the Commonwealth over their right to this land, se veral times being charged with trespass. After ten years, they appear t o have been successful in establishing their right to the property (see H enry Graham Ashmead, History of Delaware Co., Pennsylvania [Philadelphi a 1884], pp. 283, 287-88). Soon after acquiring his interest in Hog Isl and, Benjamin Rue also acquired a one-third interest in Little Tinicum I sland, which was located in the Delaware River, opposite Darby Creek an d Great Tinicum Island. The purchase was by an apparently unrecorded c onveyance from George and Elizabeth Morton dated 14 Nov 1780. The enti re tract involved was 238 acres, less five percent for roads. This int erest Benjamin and his wife Mary conveyed to Benjamin's son Lewis on 7 M ay 1805 (Del. Co. H:417)".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Famil y (unpublished mss. dated 19 Nov 1996). "Benjamin Rue appears in the tax lists for Tinicum, Chester County, bet ween 1782 and 1789. A Benjamin Rue was coroner of Chester Co. on 12 Oc t 1782 (Hist of Chester Co). In the 1783 tax list, Benjamin was called " Gentleman," had 8 white inhabitants in his household, and was taxed on 3 h orses, 10 cattle, 5 sheep, one negro (perhaps aged 14), 104 acres of ma rsh, as well as 300 acres of land outside the township of Tinicum. Ben jamin was tax collector for Tinicum in 1787 (Chester Co. Commissioners M inutes, 1789-1803, p. 164)".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Famil y (unpublished mss. dated 19 Nov 1996). "On 16 Nov 1785, Benjamin Rue (called "Gent.") paid -L90 to his sister a nd brother-in-law William and Catherine Thorne for a lot 22 feet wide a nd 99 feet deep, with a frame house, on the west side of Eighth Street i n Philadelphia between Chestnut and Walnut streets. The land was subje ct to a semi-annual rent of 11 milled Spanish silver dollars (Phila. Co . LR D-14:440). Benjamin sold his interest in this property for 80 to J ames Chevalier on 23 Jan 1787 (no wife joined in the deed) (Phila. Co. L R D-18:258). A Benjamin Rue is listed in Philadelphia in the 1790 cens us, with a household of 1 male 16+, 1 male <16, 3 females, and 1 slave. ".

Ashmead, Henry Graham, History of Delaware County, Pennsylvania Philade lphia (1884), p. 289. "In 1800, the Philadelphia Lazaretto, or quarantine hospital, was moved t o Tinicum and, anticipating increased traffic in connection with the La zaretto, Benjamin petitioned the county court to be permitted to keep a p ublic-house in his dwelling house. He appears to have kept a tavern th ere through 1802, although he was called a "grazier" in 1801. After 18 02, Charles Lloyd acquired the license".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Famil y (unpublished mss. dated 19 Nov 1996). "On 31 Oct 1800, Benjamin bought two small parcels of land (3 acres an d 2 acres) in Tinicum from his father- in-law, John Taylor (E:257). Th e same day he received one acre along the Delaware in trust from Taylor f or the benefit of Taylor's grandson William Roberts".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Famil y (unpublished mss. dated 19 Nov 1996). "On 28 Sep 1801, Taylor conveyed to Benjamin Rue and to Lewis and Cathe rine Rue, Benjamin's two children by his then-deceased first wife, Tayl or's daughter, a sizable tract on Tinicum containing 52 acres of uplan d and 83 acres of meadow (E:628). Benjamin was given a life estate an d his children were to have the property equally after his death. Eith er this conveyance itself or perhaps an attempt to add to it an equal s hare in John Taylor's estate did not sit well with John's other heirs a fter he died. Things were patched up on 3 Dec 1804 by the other heirs a greeing to let Benjamin and his children keep this land and by their ag reement, in turn, not to claim any of the remainder of John Taylor's es tate (H:87 & 93). Benjamin, Lewis and Catherine proceeded to partition t heir property among themselves in fee on 7 May 1805 (H:263, 268 & 354)".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Famil y (unpublished mss. dated 19 Nov 1996). "By 4 Sep 1804, Benjamin was called "late of Tinicum township and now o f the City and County of Philadelphia, grocer" and he appears to have l eft Tinicum for good (H:90). He was called a Philadelphia grocer again o n 3 Dec 1804, but by 7 May 1805 he was Inspector of Butter for the City o f Philadelphia. On 13 Mar 1806 he was called "late Inspector of Butter f or the Port of Philadelphia," which may suggest he was then making his p reparations to depart for Ohio".

Utermohlen, William of Alexandria, Virginia, The Bucks County Rue Famil y (unpublished mss. dated 19 Nov 1996). "It isn't entirely clear when Benjamin went to Warren County. His daug hter Catherine was in Warren County by the time of her marriage there o n 24 Aug 1806. A Benjamin Rue was resident in Turtle Creek township of t hat county in 1810. On 5 Aug 1814, a Benjamin Rue of Warren Co., proba bly either Benjamin or his son, bought Lot #134 in the town of Lebanon ( consisting of 25 square perches) from George Gillespie for $30 (Warren C o. LR 4:546). Oddly, the same lot (perhaps an additional interest in t he lot) was purchased by Benjamin Rue on 29 Jan 1816 from John H. Kain f or $90 (Warren Co. LR 5:456). Benjamin Rue sold lot #240 in Lebanon on 2 2 Nov 1817, his wife Mary relinquishing her dower (LR 7:288). On 1 Nov 1 820, Benjamin mortgaged Lot #109 in the town of Lebanon (located at Bro adway St. and Warren St.) to Ichabod Corwin to secure a total of $300 o wed by himself and his son Benjamin S. Rue due on 3 Jul 1821 (Warren Co . LR 9:273)".

Although we were 'commu ters' during the entire time that I attended Fort Street, it was at one t ime a neighborhood church for my parents and brothers, and my parents l oved the place with a passion.

They gave Arthur a letter and, thinking he might get a j ob, we took a bus to Detroit. Bill was just a year old. He learned to w alk just after we got to Detroit. The mayor of Detroit had made the fac tories promise not to give jobs to outsiders and so Arthur couldn't get a j ob. We had arrived in Detroit with $75.00 and Arthur got a job at Goodw ill Industries selling books. They sent him to Boston to learn more abo ut the business and because they'd pay our expenses after we got there, b ut only his fare, we took the money and hitch-hiked, leaving Bill with o ut landlady. We spent five days in New York City and the rest of the su mmer in Boston where we had a wonderful time. When we returned to Detro it, Arthur decided he'd like a book shop and started buying books and s toring them. When he decided he had enough, we rented a shop on Warren a nd Junction for $25.00 a month. We ran the book shop for eight years...

Rue, Clyde B., autobiographical statement (1968). "I was born in Detroit, Mich. in 1934 in the heart of the depression to a f amily of lower class socio-economic status. My father was deaf since ea rly manhood and I have always felt this was an overwhelming handicap in h is life. He had valued education but was unable to overcome this hardsh ip and complete his schooling. He dropped out of college after his seco nd year of college. Because of these factors he has supported his famil y almost totally by assembly line work. Of course his love of books, hi s respect for learning, and his desire for his children to do better ce rtainly affected my outlook on life. My mother had a poverty background i n every sense of the word. All of the memories I have of my youth are c olored by being poorly clothed, or poorly fed, or unclean. I was the mi ddle boy of three sons. My older brother is four years my senior and my y ounger brother 1 1/2 years my junior. When I was 14, another son was bo rn, but Jimmy never seemed to be part of our shared miseries. (It was u nfortunate, perhaps, for him to have no one with whom to share his mise ries.) My parents built a home in 1940 in Livonia, Mich. outside a soli dly middle class neighborhood. Everything we did or had was different f rom those with whom we went to school. Even while we walked a mile and a h alf to school in winter months, we were envious of our classmates. They w alked no more than a half mile in clothes which enabled them to enjoy t he childhood pleasures of winter. By the time we reached school our han ds and feet were numb, our clothes stiff, and our hair frozen solid. By t he time I was in high school, I had had many part-time jobs, and was th en able to buy my own clothes, do my own laundry, and pay for my own de ntal costs. If I had not, these things would have been left unattended. ".

Rue, Clyde B., "Innisfree: An experience in deviance" (written in parti al fulfillment of the requirements of a graduate education class at Tre nton State College). "During the school year of 1969-70, I was working at Montclair High Sch ool. At that time, I was teaching mathematics and having a great deal o f trouble feeling that I was doing justice to most of my students. At t hat time I had taught 12 years and really felt that the issues of "rele vance" and "value-imposition" were of paramount importance. I felt that t hese issues were not honestly being faced by the public schools. I was n ot alone in this belief. Several of my colleagues and I made several at tempts to approach the administration with a formal proposal to organiz e an alternate program within the school that did attempt to deal with t hese issues. The first attempt was met with a three-month delay, after w hich the principal explained to me that our proposal had been lost. The s econd attempt was met with another three-month delay before getting a r esponse indicating the administration didn't feel the "time was right." I t was due to this kind of frustrating experience that two of my colleag ues and I turned to the private community to seek support for our propo sal. On February 22, 1970, the three of us and our spouses announced ou rselves to our students, to the high school staff, and to the rest of t he community. We were looking for support from any quarter. What we had i n mind was a program that was to be designed and implemented by its par ticipants. There was to be input from all involved, where decisions wou ld be made not just by the adult initiators but by the whole group of t hose people who would participate. We found support first among young p eople, many of whom knew they could not actually participate in the pro gram but wanted to help in any way they could. We attracted other staff m embers, a total of 12. The staff included a nurse, a psychologist, a pr ofessional artist, a couple involved in theater and others of interesti ng and reputable backgrounds. The group decided what we wanted to do wa s raise the money to purchase property that could become our school. We l ocated an old summer boarding house in Milanville, Pa. that really seem ed appropriate to our needs. It came completely furnished and was only $ 61,000. (Only $61,000! For all practical purposes we had no money.) We d ecided that if we promoted a summer program as a camp experience and ch arged tuition on a sliding scale, so that money did not exclude anyone w ho otherwise could go, we might be able to raise the capital to purchas e the site. * * *".

The Lawrence Ledger (Lawrenceville, New Jersey), Wed. 1 Dec 1982. "Outdoor education has bigger scope at the junior high. By Tom Lederer, M anaging Editor. It's outdoor education, but the way Lawrence Junior Hig h teacher Bud Rue concocts it, there is a lot of life education mixed i n with it too. This fall three groups of about 10 eighth and ninth grad e students traveled to Milanville, Pa., on the upper Delaware River, to a c amp where Mr. Rue happens to be a trustee. Word of mouth has made the t rips a popular activity for students, and Mr. Rue is planning to follow u p with ski trips this winter. Leaving early Friday afternoon in buses p rovided by the board of education, the students and adults take a sceni c and educational route through the Delaware Water Gap, and arrive abou t 3:30 p.m. in Camp Innisfree. What follows is a combination of work as signments from teachers, household duties which include planning prepar ation of meals and keeping the camp building clean as well as having fu n enjoying the upper Delaware area. Rafting the Delaware at Skinners Fa lls, swimming under a waterfall at a remote stream, volleyball games, h iking and fishing and sharing a bonfire are part of the crowded schedul e Mr. Rue carefully arranges. Besides taking enjoyment from the area th ere is some giving back as well. The kids have cleaned up garbage in th e Skinners Falls, for example. Two teachers give each student an assign ment to complete at the camp under a contract system. A social studies t eacher assigned one student to interview local residents of a once-pros perous mill town nearby. A frequent assignment from English teachers is t o keep a journal. Math teachers have assigned students to measure the w idth and rate of flow of the river. Biology and geology teachers have a lso made good use of the area in their assignments, Mr. Rue said. With t hat crowded schedule (departure for home is 8:15 Sunday morning) Mr. Ru e says he also squeezes in what he calls his "hidden agenda." "It's dev eloping a responsibility for the group and other kids," he said. One pr oblem that has cropped up, for example, is money. There is a general st ore near the camp, and over-spending by some kids has as well as just h ow much how much money people should bring has been one subject for dis cussion. On Saturday evening, the kids meet with Mr. Rue, who is usuall y accompanied to the camp by his wife Ann and health teacher Kathy Edmu nds or by science teacher Nadine Marty and husband Quenton. "We talk ab out any problems that may have developed. We try to get across that it' s crucial to get along wherever we are. Our little group is a microcosm o f society and it's important to get kids concerned about how the other k ids feel; we all have an impact on each other.".

The River Reporter (Narrowsburg, New York), 20 April 1989, p. 9. "Nonprofit retreat center to open all week. MILANVILLE - The Innisfree C ountry Inn on River Road, near the Skinners Falls Bridge, will be open s even days a week, starting June 15th, its owners say. In recent years, t he nonprofit retreat center has only accepted guests on weekends. While I nnisfree's main focus is organized groups, individual guests and famili es are also welcome. The facility is owned by Bud and Ann Rue, until Ju ne of Lawrenceville, New Jersey; now taking up full-time residence in M ilanville. Formerly, they commuted every weekend. Bud Rue is president o f Innisfree Corporation, which leases the premises. Its nine trustees, n one of whom are paid, meet once per year. Bud is about to retire after 2 5 years public teaching experience, and Ann from 20 years in private, n onprofit day-care administration and teaching. Now, the Rues say they w ill open the facility seven days a week, and continue to focus on educa tional, social, recreational and family groups. Innisfree was founded i n 1970 -- the year after the Woodstock Music Festival took place in nea rby Bethel -- by a group of more than 15 professional educators and 45 l ong-haired teenagers, as an experimental self-governing community. Sinc e then, it has hosted a variety of programs, including drama workshops, p sychological "growth groups," outdoor-educational activities, river gro ups, and private family functions. Yoga classes and a Unitarian Univers alist religions fellowship are held Sunday mornings in the recreational h all, though the corporation is nonsectarian and nonpolitical. The cente r includes five buildings on 13.7 acres. Indoor sleeping capacity is ab out 55, according to the Rues, who will offer and all-you-can-eat homem ade breakfast for $3. However, Bud Rue noted the name of the establishm ent is taken from a poem by William Butler Yeats, and does not mean 'th e inn is free,' as some have asked. Innisfree is within walking distanc e of the Skinners Falls river access. Rates for individuals are moderat e, with special five-meal packages available for groups of 10 or more. T he facility is a member of the Pocono Mountain Vacation Bureau.".

The Times Herald-Record (Middletown, New York), 25 Oct 1993. "Organizer dies on walkathon, by Lisa Johnson. NARROWSBURG - Clyde 'Bud ' Rue walked his last steps in the name of society's forgotten people. R ue, 59, died, Sunday, October 24, after marching briefly in the 'Walk f or Social Justice,' a 10-kilometer walkathon he and other members of th e Upper Delaware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship organized to raise f unds for human service organizations in Sullivan County and Wayne Count y. He was the oil that keeps society operating,' said longtime friend G lenn Pontier. 'He filled in the cracks and smoothed the gears. Pontier, w ho was one of the 28 people walking in the march with Rue, said Rue gre w tired after the first mile or so. The 'sweep car' following the walke rs picked Rue up. He chatted with the drivers -- Pontier's parents -- f or a few moments and then collapsed. Pontier said Rue was driven to Inn isfree in Milanville, Rue's home and the walkers' destination. Emergenc y medical workers were called to the scene and Rue reportedly died on t he way to Wayne Memorial Hospital. He was so anxious to do that walk," A nn Rue said. Mrs. Rue said she tried to talk her husband out of walking , feeling it would be too strenuous. 'But he would not be dissuaded.' T he $1,000 raised by the walk will benefit the Victims Intervention Prog ram of Honesdale, an agency that helps battered and abused women; Habit at for Humanity of Wayne County; Interfaith Outreach United of Callicoo n; and the Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office. 'The common de nominator was my father,' said Tom Rue of Monticello. Tom Rue described h is father as a man, who, together with his wife, Ann, dedicated much of t heir time to charity. While others might lament social problems, Tom Ru e said, 'My father asked, 'What can we do?' And then he did it.' Tom Ru e said his parents generated the idea of a local Habitat for Humanity c hapter, a national program that helps poor families build homes on dona ted land, and formed the group with other religious organizations. Tom R ue's wife Carmen echoed her husband's sentiments. 'He was like a father t o me. He was always there for anybody who needed him.' Yesterday's walk athon began with Rue leading the way from the Tusten-Cochecton Library i n Narrowsburg toward Innisfree. Innisfree, Tom Rue explained, was an ed ucational summer camp for teens that his parents operated in 1970. The c ouple moved to Innisfree four years ago when Clyde Rue retired from tea ching mathematics in New Jersey. The cause of Rue's death could not be d etermined last night, though friends said Rue had asthma and had recent ly undergone two operations. Rue was a founding member of the Upper Del aware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship; a board member of The River Sc hool at Innisfree; and a founding member of the Upper Delaware chapter o f Amnesty International. Rue and his wife have four adult children. Tom R ue, John Rue of New York City, David Rue of Newtown, Pa., and Ella Rue- Eyet of Rockland, Mass. 'He was simply a great spirit,' Pontier said. ' He died walking for social justice. If I could only have that on my epi taph.' Pontier said organizers hope to make the walkathon annual as a m emorial to Rue, and the family is asking that memorial contributions be m ade to the Fellowship, which will distribute the money to the four agen cies for which Rue walked.".

' Bud' Rue" and shared their joy of having known Mr. Rue and their sorrow a t the end of his quest to improve the world around him. The ceremony at t he Milanville Methodist Church took place on a rainy day, Saturday, Oct . 30, "When people were weeping inside, the earth was weeping, too," co mmented Glenn Pontier. The celebration began and ended with music perfo rmed by harpists Carl and Shannon Robbins. Guitarist Laurie Stuart led t he packed church in two of Mr. Rue's favorite hymns, "We Are a Gentle, A ngry People" and "Gonna Lay Down My Sword and Shield," with themes of p eace and social justice. Mr. Rue's friends and family members ahred poe ms and stories about him and the ways he affected their lives. Mr. Rue' s life ended when he took his last steps in a "Walk for Justice" that h e helped organize. The walk raised money for four organizations that wo rked for some of the same ideals that Mr. Rue did throughout his life: H abitat for Humanity of Wayne County, Victims Intervention Program, Inte rfaith Outreach United of Callicoon and the Unitarian Universalist Unit ed Nations Office. The walk was the "culmination of his ideas" to help s ociety's forgotten people, according to Rev. Raymond J. Pontier, pastor o f the Upper Delaware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship that Mr. Rue hel ped establish. Mr. Rue "was religious without being sanctimonious, piou s or self-righteous," but instead "exemplified what Jesus meant when he s aid you should love your neighbor as yourself," said Rev. Pontier. Dale R osenberg, Habitat for Humanity's president, said that Mr. Rue left "an e nduring legacy" in the Wayne County chapter that grew from a small grou p of people with a desire to help, to a well-known organization that ac tually is building a house. "He died for projects he loved, but more im portantly, he lived for them," Mr. Rosenberg added. There was not a dry e ye in the church when his daughter, Ella Rue-Eyet, read a letter that s he wrote to her late father, saying that she would miss the "large-hear ted" man "with a laugh that filled a room," and whose "kindness knew no e nd.".

The Day (New London, Connecticut), 5 Sep 2007. Robert Rue, Former College President, Dead At 71 By Chuck Potter Published on 9/5/2007, The Connecticut Day East Lyme - The man who took Mohegan Community College from a c oncept in a basement office in Norwich to a cluster of classrooms in ye t another basement - this one, part of a former high school - and onwar d to what is now the expanding campus of Three Rivers Community College , died Monday. Dr. Robert Rue, 71, of Niantic, died following what seemed to b e successful heart surgery over the weekend, his wife said. His wife, Connie, six children and seven grandchildren surviv e him. Rue, 71, of Niantic, was founding president and president eme ritus of Mohegan Community College, was also president emeritus of C.S. M ott Community College in Flint, Mich., and served as president of Spoon R iver College in Canton Ill., Gordon Military College in Barnesville, Ga ., and the founding dean of the Urban College of Boston. Rue taught social sciences and humanities at those institutio ns as well as at the University of New Haven and the University of Conn ecticut, where he coordinated the Center for Academic Programs at the A very Point campus in Groton. "Of course I didn't know him as well as some others might, bu t Bob was man of vision," said Three Rivers president Dr. Grace Sawyer J ones. "He did and extraordinary job here. This is a very special commun ity college. I say that not as president, but from my experiences acros s the nation. Bob Rue appointed an excellent staff, and together they g ot the college off on solid footing." Prof. Emeritus Dr. James Coleman was a member of the English D epartment at Olivet (Mich.) College when he met Rue, then the the direc tor of community education. Coleman said he admired Rue for his commitm ent to community education and for the democracy he fostered among a co llege community. Coleman joined Rue in Norwich in 1973 when the community coll ege moved from the Bartlett building on Broad Street in New London to t he former Notre Dame High School in Norwich, its current site. Coleman s aid Rue instuituted a unicameral senate in which students and faculty w orked together to decide the governance of the college. "He had the ability to bring in people who didn't see themsel ves as college students," Coleman said. "I admired that. It made the jo b very interesting. I was fortumate to work with him for a number of ye ars." Coleman reflected on Rue's compassion for people and his beli ef that everyone could and should get a college education. He said Rue grew up in Detroit, living at the back of a books tore his parents owned. He said Rue's dad, who worked in the Ford facto ry, was deaf, and that perhaps those early strugglescontributed to Rue' s love of people and strong desire to worhk with the underpriveleged. Connie Rue recalled her late husband's joyful way of life, co unting his many endeavors, from playing Santa Claus to acting in movies , ("Meet Joe Black" among others) and commericals. She said she and Rue met in 1987 in Illinois, were married a y ear later and came back to Connecticut six months after so Rue could be c lose to his four children. They opened the Little Professor Book Center , a bookstore in downtown Niantic. "Everyone thought he gave it that name, but really it was a f ranchise from Ann Arbor," she said. Together the couple had six chidren: Lisa Rue, Melinda Rue Ba tes, Randy Rue, Christa Rue Mingo, George Rue and Julie Rue Browne. Robert Rue, also a justice of the peace, had officiated at hi s daughter Julie Rue Browne's wedding in Windham Aug. 11. Connie Rue called her husband the strongest civil rights advo cate she ever knew. She laughed as she recalled her first trip east, a w hirlwind weekend in New York. Their first morning in the city they awok e to a parade outside their hotel. It was Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow C oalition marching, she said. "We jumped right in and marched right along with them," she s aid. "I was just getting to know this man. That was a strong emoti onal time in my life. He was a wonderful man, and a wonderful husband." Rue's life is well documened on his Web site www.drbobrue.com . A memorial gathering is set for 4-7 p.m. Friday at Thomas L. N eilan & Sons Funeral Home in Niantic. A memorial service is planned Sat urday at 11 a.m. at Niantic Community Church.

Woldin, Samuel I., autobiographical statement (10 Feb 1975). "As far back as I can remember I was interested in athletics. When I wa s about six or seven my father gave me on my birthday a baseball bat, b all and glove. They did not last very long as I immediately went out to p lay with the big fellows and it wasn't long before the bat was split an d the ball was no longer playable. But my interest continued. When I wa s in the eighth grade I was asked to play on the high school team. In m y senior year I was elected captain of both the baseball and basketball t eams. Some time later I started playing tennis with considerable succes s. I was a member of a doubles team which captured the Somerset County c hampionship.".

Woldin, Samuel I., autobiographical statement (10 Feb 1975). "It was just before this time that I became acquainted with a new arriv al in town -- Paul Robeson. I suppose it was my early upbringing that c aused me to have such an admiration for him. My parents were of the Jew ish faith being subjected to much discrimination and prejudice. Of cour se I noticed this but never accepted it. To me my parents were two wond erful people who would never harm anyone. In time they were looked up t o and admired in Somerville. I suppose my recoil from prejudice came fr om them so my interest in the abused black people developed from them. M y great interest in Paul Robeson started when he excelled in Somerville H igh School athletics. So I naturally followed his career at Rutgers. Hi s accomplishments there were monumental. Not only in athletics but in s cholarships and debating. He was chosen as an All-American football pla yer and also shone in basketball, baseball, and track. After leaving Ru tgers he studied law at Columbia University. And from then on he became f amous internationally for his singing and acting. Well, so much for Pau l Robeson. But to me he is the greatest American of the twentieth centu ry. I still follow him in the great number of news articles about him.. . I am still greatly involved in [fighting] discrimination against all m inorities but mainly the black race. I suppose this is due to my early b ringing and experience, and will remain with me until I die. My feeling i s that if more people were involved in [fighting] this inequity maybe i n time it could be erased from our society.".

Brooks Genealogy Forum (genforum.genealogy.com/brooks). "Served the American Colonies during the American Revolution. MICAJAH B ROOKS was a soldier of the Revolution. His pension claim W. 27649, show s that he was born in Chatham County, N. C., 12-25-1767 The Bible left b y his daughter says he was a son of 'John and Jane (May Brooks, and a g randson of John Brooks who was born in England.' Then John Brooks appea red in Bladen County, N. C., in 1735. From there moved with his wife, S usan, and sons, to Orange, now Chatham County, N. C. In 1771 John Brook s, Jr., and his wife, Jane, sold their land in Chatham County, N. C., a nd later moved to Georgia. The pension paper of Micajah shows that they a rrived in Georgia in 1775, They settled In that part of Wilkes County, G a., that was later included in Warren. Micajah served in the Revolution u nder Captain Few, George Barber and Col. Elijah Clark in the Georgia Tr oops. When returning home to North Carolina, he enlisted in Edgefield D istrict, South Carolina, March 1780 or 81 and served three months as a p rivate under Capt. Bartley Martin, Col. Leroy Hammond in the South Caro lina Troops. After wards served in the Georgia Troops under Captains Jo hn Hill, Joseph Mimms, John Wilson, Stephen Bishop, Samuel Beckam, Davi d Miller and Col. Elijah Clark, and was in an expedition to the Cheroke e Nation and was at the surrender of Augusta, Ga.. He was allowed a pen sion on an application executed 8-19-1850, while a resident of Paulding C ounty. He died 6-15-1862. He married second, about 1839, Margaret T. Ca rter and she was allowed a pension in 1877 while living in Polk County, G a. In 1869 she stated that she was sixty years old. Micajah Brooks is t he only Revolutionary soldier by that name found in the Revolutionary r ecords. For his services he was granted land in Henry County, GA in the L and Lottery of 1827. Micajah Brooks lived to be 100 years old, and was a w ell known person through several generations. Jennie Lynne Wingard of R ockmart, Ga., said, I remember my grandmother, Mary Eudora Hubbard Carp enter, telling about her grandfather, Micajah Brooks. She remembered hi m quite well. She loved to tell how his mother sent him to the mill whe n he was an overgrown boy of fourteen. "He met up with a recruiting off icer, left his horse and meal, joined the Army, and wasn't heard of for s everal years. They thought he was dead." Evidently Micajah was remember ing his old home in Chatham County, N. C., and the girl he left behind, a s this was an opportunity to get back to the land of his nativity. The t rek back was long and hard. He stopped in South Carolina where he had k insmen living, and enlisted for more se rvice. Then went on to Chatham C ounty, N. C., and married before returning home. When he returned to No rth Carolina in about 1785 during the Revolution he married Mary Hunter o f Chatham County, N. C., daughter of Elisha Hunter, a German Seaman, wh ose wife was Margaret Stute. They settled first in Wilkes County, Ga. ( now Warren Co.) then moved to Putnam County, then to Jasper County and f inally settled in Paulding County, a part of which is now Polk County, G a. He moved to Paulding County soon after the territory was surveyed in 1 832 . Micajah Brooks and his son John Brooks and wife, Elizabeth, and h is daughter Nancy and her husband, Woodson Hubbard, received land grant s now known as the Everette plantation in Polk County, Ga. The original g rant and deeds are now in the possession of Mr. and Mrs. James Everette . Some of the original rooms of the Micajah Brooks home are now a part o f the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jam es Everette. These rooms are made of bri ck that were made near the home and they were not destroyed when the ho me burned several years ago. These two rooms are said to be the first b rick building erected in the county. The deed by which John Brooks, son o f Micajah, deeded the property to Hosea Camp in 1849 is also in the pos session of Mr. Everette. The cemetery in which Micajah Brooks is buried w as given by his son-in-law, Woodson Hubbard, as a family burying ground a bout 1850 and in 1851 Nancy Brooks Hubbard, wife of Woodson Hubbard, wa s the first person to be buried there. After the homeplace was sold to H osea Camp, Micajah Brooks moved to Fish Creek and settled on a hill abo ve a large spring. Here he lived with his second wife, Margaret T. Cart er. This last homestead was sold by his widow, Margaret, and their son, G reen L. Brooks to L. W. Harris in 1868. On Sept. 19, 1878 L. W. Harris s old it to William Phillips, husband of Caroline Frances Wilson Phillips , a granddaughter of Micajah Brooks. William Mitchell Phillips gave thi s place to his eldest daughter, Nancy Jane Phillips Blissette and after h er death her youngest daughter, Jane Lillian Blissette Thacker, bought t he old home at public auction and it is now in her possession. The Will iam Witcher Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, unveiled a m arker, with appropriate ceremonies, at the grave of Micajah Brooks, Rev olutionary Soldier, on May 31st, 1950. The marker was rededicated by th e Chapter and the descendants of Micajah Brooks on February 21st, 1999".

"Sidelights" In 1973 Judd Woldin composed the music for Raisin, a musical version of L orraine Hansberry's groundbreaking A Raisin in the Sun. Hansberry's pla y, first produced in 1959, tells the story of a poor black family who a ttempt to break out of their social caste by moving to a mostly white s uburban neighborhood. While Woldin's attempt to reinterpret a classic o f American drama might seem risky, many critics found Raisin to be an i mprovement upon the original. Theater reviewer Jack Kroll wrote in News week: "Making a musical out of [A Raisin in the Sun] has the effect of g iving a kind of sanctification to the play's strategy of emotional enci rclement." Harold Clurman of Nation was more cautious about his praise, e xplaining that, "to say, as some have done, that the musical Raisin ... i s better than the original A Raisin in the Sun is an insult to [Hansber ry]," but, "because songs, dances, scenic and costume 'embellishment' h ave now been supplied, we have something inherently superior to her str aightforward and honest material." Kroll gave Woldin further credit for t he success of Raisin, describing the music as "full of pride and dignit y" and imparting to the play a tone "that is celebratory rather than su bversive." Woldin told CA: "Raisin was an attempt to musicalize Lorraine Hansberry 's masterpiece as faithfully as possible. Comparisons were inevitable. I n ow believe that musical theater pieces must be treated as original work s, even when they are based on existing material."

Woldin, Edwin Judd of Manhattan, New York, letter to Thomas Rue of Mont icello, New York (17 June 1996). "JUDD WOLDIN was born in Somerville, New Jersey, where he began piano s tudies at the age of eight. In his teens, he was attracted to jazz and, w hile still in high school, began working professionally. After stints o n the road with Don Elliott and Lionel Hampton, he studied composition, f irst with Heinrich Jalowetz at Black Mountain College and later with Er nst Krenek at the University of New Mexico. A family man by this time, M r. Woldin decided on an academic career, completing B.A. and M.A. degre es as a fellowship student at Rutgers University and starting a doctora l program at Columbia University. However, a call to write the dance mu sic for a Broadway musical based on James Thurber's FABLES FOR OUR TIME , soon led to total involvement in musical theater. Joining Lehman Enge l's B.M.I. Workshop, Mr. Woldin began work with lyricist Robert Brittan o n an adaptation of Lorraine Hansberry's play, A RAISIN IN THE SUN. Thei r ~usical, RAISIN, opened at Arena Stage in 1973 and subsequently came t o Broadway, where it won both the "Tony" and "Grarnmy" awards as, respe ctively, "Best Musical" and "Best Original Score From A Musical" for th e 1973-74 season. RAISIN has played to three million people in most maj or cities of North America and has been performed in repertory at the S tate Theater in St. Gallen and throughout Switzerland. Since that time, M r. Woldin has written book, music, and lyrics for KING OF SCHNORRERS, f reely based on the novella by Israel Zangwill, which ran in New York Ci ty during the 1979-80 season and has had regional productions in Los An geles, Cleveland, Baltimore, Toronto, and Vancouver. Other musicals inc lude LORENZO, a musical biography of Mozart's librettist, Lorenzo Da Po nte, and JONAH, a jazz fable. In addition to theater works, Mr. Woldin h as composed the scores for two Carson Davidson films, RAILWAY WITH A HE ART OF GOLD, and POPPYCOCK, both U.S. entries in the cinema festivals a t Venice and Edinburgh, as well as for a Henry Street Settlement film, N OBODY EVER DIED OF OLD AGE. Awards include grants from the New Jersey C ouncil On The Arts and from Broadcast Music Inc. Mr. Woldin is currentl y working on musical adaptations of Langston Hughes's comedy, LITTLE HA M, Mark Twain's THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER, produced at PCLO in 1993 (Ba y Area Theater Critic's Circle Aware 1994 for Best Score); and Nicholas M eyer's Sherlock Holmes novel, THE SEVEN PERCENT SOLUTION.".

"I wasn't any more than eight years old, I guess, when my brother Tom a nd I went out in the country to get a Christmas tree. This was where a m an by the name of Mart Holcomb lived. He was very upset when people wou ld go in and take down trees. However, we went in with the ax, we cut d own this tree, and started for home. Then he came out and he called us a ll kinds of vile names. It had been raining and the mud sucked off my r ubber overshoes. I had to stop, put the tree down, and put my overshoes o n. When we started back, we put the ax in the tree, but the ax soon fel l off. It fell down in the mud. We had to stop and pick it up. When we f inally got it home, it was too big to take it into the house. We had to t ake the top out of it. It was big enough for a community tree. That was m y experience of going and getting our own Christmas tree. We didn't eve n have to pay for it.".

Notes from Vi nce Shannon's trip to Ireland 12 Aug. 1967: "... Goleen where we spent a h alf hr looking for the McDonald house, after several bad starts, we fin ally found it. When we pulled up in front, there was a large gate. In side was a flock of chickens and a mean looking dog. Ella wanted me to t ake on the trip to the house, but I chickened and blew the horn instead . At first we got no reply, so to use the time I took a picture. I do n't think it will be very good, because it was quite dark by then from c louds. We were about to pull away when this woman came out dressed rat her plain. I explained who we were. She said she never met Mary McDon nell(n128), and her daughter was working in Bantry. She was pleasant e nough but did not invite us in and we did not push this point".

Very much dedi cated to music with personality to boot. I couldn't be happier with the c hoice. She plans to major in both music and marine biology at Cal State U niv. at Santa Cruz. She hopes to use both in her career. I'm sure she'l l find a way. I know Aunt Ella would be pleased with the choice. I was a ble to spend some time with her and tell all about Aunt Ella. She seeme d very interested to hear all about her. Now at least one person here i n California will carry around a memory of our favorite aunt. I plan to c ontinue the award at least for the next few years. Hope all is well. "Live long and prosper, "Bob, Uncle Bob, Pop".
Rue, Bernette Ann (2007). E-mail to multiple recipients dated 17 June 2 007. "Dear Friends and Family, "This evening I had the pleasure of offering a scholarship in Aunt Ella 's memory to a young girl who graduated from our local high school. He r name is Victoria Frick and she is the first person in her family to g o to college. She will be attending Pennsylvania College of Technology a nd hopes to become an occupational therapist. I offered the scholarshi p through the assistance of the Greene-Dreher Alumni Association, a gro up that no longer has a school building since the construction of Walle npaupack Reg. H.S. but who continues to serve the community by awarding s cholarships to local students going to college. In 1964 they offered t heir first scholarship of $50. Tonight they awarded $20,000 (including A unt Ella's) to 16 students. I was asked to write a little something ab out Aunt Ella which I've attached along with a picture of Victoria. Ne xt year I shall write some criteria for the scholarship that will assis t in the selection of the recipient. I think it would be fitting to ho nor the memory of Aunt Ella by awarding a scholarship in her name to so meone who has demonstrated his or her commitment to giving to others. "Since all of you I'm sure share my desire to keep Aunt Ella's memory a live and prospering I thought you would appreciate sharing my pleasure i n this event.".
Shannon, Dorothy of Ellicot City, Maryland, gedcom and e-mail to Thomas R ue of Monticello, New York (28 Feb 2003). "I handed out some information at a family reunion that contained menti on of an illness my father would never have discussed in public and he w as annoyed, so I took most of the medical information and put it in a c onfidential file that I don't send out to anyone. I can't remenmber if t his file was screened or if this is the original. I think there is a de scription of their trip to Greece that was kind of interesting. They w ere always going somewhere and ususally it was Ella who got butted by a g oat in Ireland, lost her purse with their tickets in Portugal, broke he r arm in Mexico. But on this trip my father, who was prone to seasickne ss was given a scopolamine patch by the doctor and it made him delierio us and very sick. They kept a diary, which I wound up with. It sounded l ike the trip from hell to me, but they put a good face on it. So let th em see it if you think they might find it interesting. Maybe they will c ome up with other rememberances I can put in the file. Sometimes I find i t enlightening to hear the impressions of other family members about ev ents I attended. My sister and I remember different episodes from our y outh, for example. Some things impressed me and others her. We keep s aying 'You don't remember that? I know you were there!' Ella was a real c haracter in her day. She knew how to keep a conversation going. She wa s among the original 'independent' women. I suppose she was called a sp inster before she took on the daunting task of marrying my father. I kn ow it took a while for her to make up her mind to marry. My father was g oing to ask her at Valentine's Day and I expected he'd come home with t he newd, but it was at least several months afterwords when she actuall y agreed, I'm not sure if he asked her and she wasn't sure or he didn' t ask because their discussion indicated she wasn't ready to be asked. S he was good for my Dad. He was still in mourning when he married her an d I have to think that was a rocky time for both of them. She was compl etely unlike my mother is almost every aspect. And she was used to liv ing with her mother in a one bedroom flat. Her mother was a wonderful w oman and healthy at that time. She used to clean the house and make din ner and iron Ella's dress for the next day. She said she had nothing el se to do sitting around the house all day. Ella was just as glad for h er to do that because she sometimes tried to help in ways Ella would ha ve preferred she not. For example, Ella had been working on a cutowork t ablecloth. You have to stitch very carefully around a pattern and then c ut out the cloth from within the edges you sewed. Well, her mother trie d to help her out with the cutting and she cut some of the binding thre ads, because her eyesight wasn't too good. It ruined the cloth, which p robably took many many months to embroider. So, if Nellie wanted to cle an or iron, that was fine with Ella. Then she moved into a huge new hou se with 5 people still in mourning, only one of whom had actually chose n her presence. (That's not to say we objected, because we all felt he n eeded a wife. We just didn't really know who she was or how to relate t o her). Her sense of humor occasionally failed her during this transit ion. After a while, we all figured out how to "get along" (This was bef ore the days when people worked on 'communicating')".

"After the death of Dolly Ruf, he was introduced to Ella Cruise, a scho ol principal in Glen Ridge NJ. She was a friend of Evelyn and Howard O lson. Olson worked with Dad. Dad was devastated by mother's death and E lla was an outgoing woman with a positive attitude and an entertaining c haracter. [There are] two letters he wrote in August of 1962 to her whi le she was away, probably a Red Cross convention in Washington, DC. It i ndicates he is concerned about the weather during her flight, responds t o things she wrote to him.

Shannon, Dorothy of Ellicot City, Maryland, gedcom and e-mail to Thomas R ue of Monticello, New York (28 Feb 2003). "I remember that day very well. You can imagine our anticipation of hav ing a step-mother. We were all teenagers 13-17. I had a 'steady', who b ecame my husband in 1965. We three girls all went to have our hair done t ogether in the morning and I was the first one finished. I wanted to be e arly so we took off for the church. Little did I realize that in all th e noise and confustion, I didn't REALLy know where the church was. I th ought I did, but I was wrong. Who brings the invitation of their father 's wedding with them? It's not like we had cell phones than and by the t ime I realized I was lost, everyone else had left the house. By the ti me we finally, somehow, checked every Catholic church anywhere near Blo omfield avenue, it was WAY late. I was sobbing hysterically ( I was 17 ). The bride had already gone up the isle in her blue chiffon semi-form al with the little blue hat. I understand that she did not exactly wal k up the isle, but that she stopped and shook hands with people and gre eted them as she went. Anyway, I was afraid my father would be frantic w ondering what happend to me and they would hold up the wedding and send o ut search parties. As it happened, no one seemed to notice much except m y sisters, who were too timid to do anything so rash as to bring up my a bsence. So I walked in late, slid in by a side isle and tried not to s ob too loudly through the ceremony. I figured the whole church saw me a nd thought that I was upset about the marriage, disapproved, tried to s top it, who knows what a 17 yr old can come up with. By the end, I was c ollected and tried to explain myself to a cousin or two but when they h adn't noticed I decided to keep my mouth shut. Apparently my father di dn't realize I wasn't there smiling through the whole thing. The recept ion was in a country club and it was not particularly memorable. Just t he usual dancing and cake cutting. A good time was had by all and they d idn't smash the cake into each other's face. They got some really nice g ifts from Ella's friends--a lot of silver. They had it all laid out on t ables for viewing as was the custom. When they went away for their hon eymoon (I can't remember where right now) I was very nervous about guar ding all the loot. But, all was well".

Alan Cearley of Dalton, Georgia, e-mail to Thomas Rue of Monticello, Ne w York (3 Feb 2004). "As for the story of Marcus killing the son-in-law..... My grandmother ( bn. 1907, still living with a wonderfully good mind), the dau. of Carri e Anderson Owenby, and the granddaughter of Martha Ann Morrow, says her g ranny would talk about how her daddy killed the son-in-law for beating h er sister. Apparently he did it more than once because Marcus told him i f he ever did it again, he would kill him. This is why they moved west. H e fled the police. He is not on the 1870 Census. They ended up in Ark. a nd you know the rest. I believe that it was Arrenia's husband, Pleasant P age that he killed. Uncle John Morrow returned for a visit sometime in t he early 1900s. He brought 2 suitcases, one with fine clothes and one w ith common clothes so he could dress as the people in NC.".
Alan Cearley of Dalton, Georgia, e-mail to Thomas Rue of Monticello, Ne w York (3 Feb 2004). "I just talked to my grandmother. I had not known about Sophronia Morro w nor James A. Morrow. My grandmother always said that her grandmother h ad a half-sister but I could never find her on a census. She could not r emember her name. She did not know about James Alphus. She said if her g ranny talked about him she did not remember it. She did talk about the k illing and that it was her granny's half-sister. That leaves Arrenia ou t. So, when I mentioned Sophronia's name she was like "Oh yes, she was t he one. Great grandpa killed her husband because he beat her. He warned h im that if he did it again he would kill him. He beat him again and he k illed him. Marcus fled west taking Saphronia with him, saying that he w ould send for the rest later. When he settled in Ark. the rest followed . Martha and Arrenia stayed behind." She didn't know if Sophronia had m arried before the Morrows came to Cherokee Co. NC/Fannin Co. GA area or a fter. She does know where the killing happened. Her grandparents, Willi iam Harvey and Martha Ann Morrow Anderson lived in Fannin Co. Ga. very c lose to the Cherokee Co., NC line. Her sister Sophronia lived just up f rom them in Ga. You could still see the house when my grandmother was a g rown woman. Don't know if it is stiill there. Don't know the murdered m an's name. She guesses that they said it but don't have any recollectio n of it.

Shannon, Ella Theresa Cruise of Yardley, Pennsylvania, letter to Bernet te Ann Woldin Rue of Trenton, New Jersey (4 July 1976). "Sun. July 4, '76. Dear Peachy, This weekend marked an important birthd ay for you and for our country. On TV, we've seen reenactments of our c ountry's birthday but I have had a mental reenactment of your birthday. G randma and I had gone to Somerville to "give a hand" in case you came. Y ou came during the nite and we never heard a flutter. In the morning yo ur father proudly informed us, 'We have a little girl!' This weekend, i n addition to the joys of the date on the calendar we have had some sad n ews. On Thurs. nite we got a call from Uncle Bob Cruise informing us of S hauneen's tragedy. Her little girl, Amy, age three this coming Sept., w as killed by a car that day. It was a very sad situation. Shauneen had h er in the station wagon on her way to pick up Sara, age 7, and Katie, a ge 5, at the swimming pool. Somehow, while Shauneen was parking the sta tion wagon, Amy inadvertently opened the door, fell out, and Shauneen r an over her, killing her without realizing she was out. Needless to say , Shauneen was hysterically affected. Vince and I went down to the serv ices held on Fri. A.M. Perhaps you could send a note or a card to Shaun en. She needs all the support she can get, [to] Mr. & Mrs. William Will iam Hutchinson, 144 Olbbury Drive, Wilmington, Del. 19808. I've called B ill and Bob and informed them.Bye now, Aunt Ella".".

Francis appears with the major portion of h is father's holdings, whether his marriage to his cousin had any relati on to this is possible but not definitely known. Owing to loss of deed r ecords in Culvert County it is not known by what means he came into pos session of 200 acres part of a tract called 'Mears'.

Watson, Don Holland of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, From Beyond Remembrance : LaRue and Allied Families website (1997-2002). "From 'FLANDERS & ARTHOIS GENEALOGIE': In the village of Warhem, in We sthoeck Province, during 'les terribles annies' (the terrible years) of e pidemics of cholera, Jean La Rue listed as Librarian; Pierre Scabel lis ted as 'Cordonnier' and Godparent to a La Rue baby. (Pierre Scabel was G odparent to Abraham La Rue the Immigrant, who is our common ancestor fo r the La Rue and Larew families of the 'New World', beginning circa 167 8).".
Watson, Don Holland of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, From Beyond Remembrance : LaRue and Allied Families website (1997-2002). Nicholas D'AILLY and wife came on the ship 'Faith' with their 15-year-o ld son, Jan, who was born in Mannheim in 1663. This nails down the year o f arrival! The record shows that the D'AILLY family was from Flanders-A rtois, the precise area of the sub-province of Lalleou, the home of the L eROUX/LaRUE families, Anthoine being from the town of Wicres. Abraham t he immigrant, his uncle, aunt, and two (or three) cousins traveleled to gether on the 'Faith'. Jan D'AILLY married Susan LaRUE HELLING, widow o f Tunis Hendricks HELLING and sister of Jacques LaRUE (born Huguenot co lony, Manheim, 1656), in 1688 or 1689, in Hackensack, Bergen County, Ne w Jersey! Assuming that Jan was younger than Susan by five years (Susan w as born in 1658), Jan was born in 1663 and the arrival of the Faith was i n 1678. This clearly underlines family relationships. Further, Jan D'AI LLY (spelling variations were AILLE, ALLEE, ALYEA) joined the Dutch ch urch at Hackensack 22 Sep 1694, transferring from the Huguenot church! C ertainly he had grown up in the Huguenot colony in Mannheim, and the na me d'ALLEE is French Huguenot, but his 5th child, Susanna, was baptized i n the Dutch Reformed church in Hackensack on 10 Mar 1694. Jan's second m arriage was to Marit Je De GRAVE, definitely a Dutch name, and Susanna m ay have been her child. It should be noted that the first marriage of S usanna LEROU, 'young lady of Mannheim', was to Thomas HENDRICKS, 'young m an of New York,' on 11 Jun 1683, after five years of involuntary servit ude, clearly establishing the arrival date as 1678. Remember! Our calen dar hasn't always been as it is now, and it was customary to write, for e xample, 1678/78 during one of the conversion periods. Abraham the immig rant was estimating when he gave the arrival year as 1680! One final pi ece of evidence: In 1997, my sister, Martha, discovered the petition of t his Susanna LeROU for release from 5 years of involuntary servitude, an d to establish herself as a citizen. The year? 1683!".
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ancestral File (TM). gives birthdate as "abt. 1653 of Bensalem, Bucks, Pennsylvania".
Stokes, Albert L., The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey "The Rue Fam ily" (Sept 1970). "MATTHEW RUE, the progenitor of this family in New Jersey, was on State n Island as early as July 1679 when he witnessed a deed of gift from Es tienne Gayneau to his son Stephen, about to wed Sussannah Usselton (Boo k 6, page 168, Div. of Land Records, Albany, and AG 19:17)".
Stokes, Albert L., The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey "The Rue Fam ily" (Sept 1970). "Subsequent to 1679 he owned and undoubtedly lived on a tract of land n ear the mouth of the Kennebec River, in the present state of Maine but t hen in York County, Massachusetts. A deed of 'Matthew Rue, dated Nov. 2 0, 1683, was recorded Mar. 5, 1721/2--'Between Matthew Rew Late of Kene beck River In Ye Province of Maine to the Eastward, Yoeman Now Resident o n Staten Island In ye Province of New York on ye one Part and Richard P ateshall of Boston in New England, Merchant on the other Part.' It furt her mentions 'where Matthew Rew built his dwelling house.' Matthew sign ed with a mark. As no wife joined in the deed, it is reasonable to assu me that he was a widower. The property was located opposite Lee's Islan d in the Kennebec River".
Stokes, Albert L., The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey "The Rue Fam ily" (Sept 1970). "On Staten Island, Matthew La Rue received a grant from Governor Dongan o n Dec. 23, 1685. Of course Matthew had this land before the grant, whic h merely confirmed title already passed, but there is no record of any d eed in the land records (Book A, the earliest, is missing)".
Stokes, Albert L., The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey "The Rue Fam ily" (Sept 1970). "Matthew died before Oct. 30, 1722, as evidenced by a survey of that da te referring to 'Land laid out for John Rue which was due him by virtue o f a grant to his father Matthew Rue formerly of Staten Island, deceased ' (Staten Island deeds, Book C, p. 100). This proves that John Rue was t he son of Matthew. The relationship of this John to Matthew and James R ue, obviously his contemporaries, is not clear, but it is supposed that t hey are brothers. In 1732 they were of the Province of Pennsylvania".
Watson, Don Holland of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, From Beyond Remembrance : LaRue and Allied Families website (1997-2002). J. Ray [Franklin] does not agree that the Magdeleine Gillet of Mannheim w as the wife of Abraham LaRue, the Immigrant. He and Dr. Karl Larew, his torian, believe that Abraham's wife was Magdelaine Uzille, born Decembe r 1662 on Manhattan Island. J. Ray relates that Magdelaine's father was a n infant (given the name 'David of Ousille') rescued after a Catholic a ttack on the Huguenots living in the village of "Ousille-la-Riviere." H is rescuer was one Marie Taine, about 16 years old. She married a survi vor of the attack, Phillip Casier, and the three of them fled by ship t o Martinique, becoming indentured servants. They remained there for 20 y ears, where Marie Casier was born. They returned to France upon the iss uance of the Edict of Nantes, but, finding none of their relatives, mov ed on to Calais, where David changed his name to 'Uzille' to accomodate t he Flemish-speaking persons in the area. Allegedly, both 'Ousille' and ' Uzille' are pronounced 'Sealy', as in the mattress. David married his s tep-sister Marie Casier. When the Netherlands were ceded to Spain at th e end of the 30 years war (1648) they were caught in Calais. Louis duBo is led them through the Spanish Netherlands to Leiden, then on to Mannh eim up the Rhein river - the roads were too dangerous and few people wo uld shelter escaping Huguenots. I have long suspected that the Rhein wa s one means of escape (in fact, my French contacts via teletype in 1980 v erified that). They came to 'the New World' on the same ship that Louis d uBois came on, J. Ray says. In Harlem the 'Uzille' family joined the Du tch Reformed Church - Calvin, and the gentlemen who noted their members hip on the church role spelled the name 'Zheel'. That was subsequently t ranslated to Gille, but at the time, pronounced Sealy. Later, it became G ill, and Vince Gill, the country-western singer from Oklahoma City, is o ne of our "cousins". His mother and my wife, Marga, often visited at In grid's Kitchen, a German bakery and delicatessen, where Marga worked be fore retirement. According to J. Ray, Magdelaine (or Magdeleine) was 15 w hen she married our Abraham in 1687, and died during or shortly after g iving birth to our Peter, as Martha, my sister, had determined.".
1706 Staten Island Census in Stillwell, John E., Historical and Genealo gical Miscellany (Vol. I, p. 153-154). "Matthew Rue, presumably the son of the original Matthew Rue of Staten I sland, was born about 1686 if his age of 20 in the 1706 Staten Island c ensus is accurate.".

Lexis-Nexis, The Atlanta Journal and Constitution, Friday July 9, 1999, Home Edition, p. 6B. The self-styled king of forms, Al Tiede of Powder Springs was an expert i n the unique field of "formology" --- the science of forms. "All the wo rld's a form," Mr. Tiede would say about his unusual career. He helped b usinesses develop forms for every need. As a document control manager f or CBS and a consultant to AT&T, Deering Milliken Inc. and General Elec tric Co., he developed efficient forms that saved the companies money. A lbert Frank Tiede Sr., 89, died of a heart attack Tuesday at Brian Cent er Nursing Care. The body was cremated. The memorial service will be 7: 30 p.m. today at Davis-Struempf Funeral Home. Mr. Tiede contributed to t he design of the CBS logo, which resembles an eye. Recognizing the netw ork's involvement in sports, he helped develop the concept of a basebal l, surrounded by a football, all encircled within a basketball, said hi s son, Albert F. Tiede Jr. of Dunwoody. To help venerable newsman Walte r Cronkite, Mr. Tiede contributed to the upgrade of the TelePrompTer, s aid his son. The CBS News anchorman had difficulty reading the TeleProm pTer because its paper produced a glare. Mr. Tiede helped make the Tele PrompTer work with opaque paper so that there would be no glare. Workin g for a radio manufacturing company in Indiana, Mr. Tiede helped develo p the first car radio antenna, said his son. He learned about business f orms in 1936 when he joined Gilman Fanfold Corp. in Niagra Falls, N.Y., n ow Moore Business Forms. He became the Southern division manager and wa s based in New Orleans. In 1941, he went to Washington with Moore, wher e he was to be in charge of forms for the U.S. Army. He never completed t he assignment because Army doctors gave him six months to live when the y detected a heart condition. Mr. Tiede left Moore and founded the Busi ness Forms Management Association in New York. The training he provided f or the association's 125 members caught the attention of CBS. He moved t o metro Atlanta in 1992. A music lover, Mr. Tiede played the piano and t he violin and was a composer. He wrote the love song "When You Say, 'Ye s, I Do,' " recorded by the Jerry Jordan Orchestra in 1948, said his so n. . "Albert F. Tiede Sr., 89, business forms expert.

Tibbals, Alva Owens in, History of Pulaski County, Kentucky compiled by G race Owens Moore, Bagdad, Kentucky (1952), pp. 47-48. "William Owens came here from Virginia before Pulaski County was formed . He was of Welsh descent, the son of William Owens and his wife, Jude, w hose maiden name is not known. William was born November 10, 1750 in Vi rginia and married Nancy Owens, his cousin, September 20 or 30, 1773, i n the Shenandoah Valley. Nancy was the daughter of Vincent Owens, whose w ife was Winifred Le Hue (Lehew), the daughter of Peter Le Hue and his w ife, Frances Allen. Peter Le Hue, a Huguenot, was born in 1692 in Franc e. He came to America before 1707-12, settling at Front Royal, Virginia . 'In 1760 Peter Le Hue was the leading citizen with the best house app lied for, and was granted a license to keep an ordinary." A family lege nd, handed down from one generation to the next, says, 'Peter Le Hue wa s shipped out of France at the time of the Revolution in a ventilated w ine cask.' William Owens, the subject of this sketch, was a Revolutiona ry soldier who served as first sergeant in Captain James Newell's Compa ny, Colonel Preston's Regiment. He and his wife, with several of their c hildren, came here and settled on the bluff overlooking Pitman Creek, n ear the present town of Elihu. He built a one-room log cabin, which is n ow the living room of the house where Mrs. Lum Allen and her son Edwin a re living. He died in the same house in 1836. He and his wife Nancy are b uried in the old Baptist Cemetery in Somerset. They were the parents of s ix boys and six girls. Of their children who married into the family of S amuel Newell were William, who married Margaret Newell, and Nancy, who m arried Samuel Newell, the brother of Margaret. The remaining children w ere: Judah; Reuben, married Sally Lockhart, moved to Clinton County; Ja ne, married Samuel Tate, lived in Pulaski County; Sarah, married Hansfo rd Price, lived in Pulaski County; Rebecca, married Wesley Short, moved t o Indiana; Avy, married John Short, moved to Indiana; Lavina, married R euben Short, moved to Indiana; John, married Ann Chesney, lived in Pula ski County; and Martin, married Polly Chesney, moved to Rockcastle Coun ty. Two of these sons Samuel and Martin, were Baptist preachers, Martin b eing one of the early ministers of the Flat Lick Baptist Church. The Sh orts and Samuel Owens emigrated to Indiana. Their descendants are livin g near Bedford and Bloomington, Indiana, today. There are many descenda nts of those who remained in Pulaski. One of them was Samuel Tate, a gr eat-grandson who, at the age of eighty-four, wrote a history of the Owe ns family, from which the following quotation is taken: 'Grandfather Ow ens was quite wealthy when he died. He had fifteen Negro servants and s everal likely young men (Negroes) and women who were bought at his sale a nd taken south by traders. Grandfather lived with his daughter Jane and h er husband [Samuel Tate] until her death. She kept one Negro man and wo man to wait on her. When Grandfather went to housekeeping the family be dding was made of bearskins'".

The Battle at Sherriffmuir 1715 (Location: www.fortunecity.com/bally/leitrim/147/battles.html;). "Shortly after George I. was proclaimed King, a Scottish rising, led b y the Earl of Mar, proclaimed James king at Braemar and marched so uth. Bobbing John, as Mar was known, had been one of the signatories o f the Treaty of Union, had served as Secretary for Scotland under Queen A nne and had at the beginning of the new reign hastened to declare hims elf the "faithful and dutiful subject and servant" of King George. B ut he had been disappointed by the latter's cool response and had accor dingly made or resumed contact with the exiled Court. On receiving Jam es's letter, he disbuised himself, however unconvincingly, as a workman a nd boarded a collier bound for Scotland. Arriving there towards the mi ddle of August, he summoned his friends and neighbours to a great tinc hal or hunting party on the Braes of Mar in Aberdeenshire and there acq uainted them with what was afoot. Three weeks later, on 6 September, h e publicly proclaimed James VIII and III as King and raised the old Sco ttish standard at Castletown in Braemar. At first the rising prospered. N o less than twelve thousand armed Jacobite clansmen rallied to the Roy al standard and many of the northern towns readily declared for King J ames. By mid-September Mar had without much difficulty established hims elf in Perth. Between him and the English border lay only two thousand G overnment troops based on Stirling. These were, however, commanded by J ohn, Second Duke of Argyll, and experienced soldier, already famous as R ed John of the Battles. Mar, on the other hand, was no kind of military l eader. Having somehow succeeded in capturing Perth, he lingered there f or weeks, missing the opportunity thus offered for swift action agains t an enemy as yet outnumbered and unprepared. At length, in the second w eek of November, more than two months after the start of the Rising, Ma r and his main force slowly set out from Perth in the direction of St irling. "a la bonne aventure", wrote one of them, 'the blind leading th e blind, not knowing whither we were going or what we were to do'. Argy ll moved to meet him and on the morning of 13 November the two armies m et at Sheriffmuir in the Ochil Hillls, a couple of miles to the north o f Dunblane. In the engagement that followed, the Macleans and MacDonald s occupied the right of the line. From them something more was at stake t han the future of this dynasty or the other. They were once again fi ghting for their existence as clans against their hereditary enemies , the all-pervading Campbells.".
The Columbia Encyclopedia 6th Edition (2003), Columbia University Press. Mar, John Erskine, 6th (or 11th) earl of -- 1675-1732, Scottish noblema n, leader of the Jacobites. He was nicknamed "Bobbing John," probably b ecause of his political vacillation. He succeeded his father as earl in 1 689 and in the following years was generally a member of the court part y. He was twice secretary of state for Scotland under Queen Anne and pl ayed a leading part in promoting the union (1707) with England. After t he accession (1714) of George I, he made an effusive offer of his servi ces but was dismissed. He then withdrew secretly to Scotland, where he r aised (1715) the standard for James Francis Edward Stuart, the Old Pret ender, without orders from him to do so. The rebellion failed, largely t hrough Mar’s incompetence. He was defeated at Sheriffmuir and fled (171 6) to France with the Pretender. He was attainted of treason in England , but his active dissatisfaction with the Jacobite court and his suspec ted treachery caused the Pretender also to break with him in 1724. Mar r emained in exile until his death.".
Scotland On Sunday, heritage.scotsman.com, 20 Feb 2005. Bobbing John burial place marked at last GEORGE MAIR THE burial place of one of Scotland’s most infamous political chancers h as been marked for the first time - 273 years after his death. John Erskine, the 6th Earl of Mar, Secretary of State for Scotland unde r Queen Anne, devised the 1707 Act of Union but was exiled to France af ter leading the doomed Jacobite Rising of 1715. The Earl, nicknamed Bobbing John because he changed sides so often, die d in exile in 1732, aged 57. His body was returned to the family seat in Alloa, Clackmannanshire, to b e buried in an unmarked grave beneath an aisle in the local kirk, but t he site was lost when the building collapsed in 1815. After years of researching the exact site, historians have concluded th at the earl’s resting place is a grassy patch within the Kirkgate Cemet ery, beside the 19th-century mausoleum chapel which replaced the kirk. At a ceremony on Friday, Jamie, the present Earl of Mar and Kellie, mar ked the spot with a black marble tribute featuring the family’s coat of a rms. An inscription, chosen by the present earl, reads: "In memory of John, E arl of Mar. Architect, improver, originator of industrial Alloa, states man and Jacobite. Born 1675, died 1732 in exile." Mar, 55, said: "This is a long-overdue commemoration of the 6th Earl, w hose inauspicious grave has remained unmarked but whose legacy lives on a ll around us. "He is written off in history as Bobbing John, the person who led the u nsuccessful Jacobite Rising in 1715. "History has concentrated more on his failures than his successes. He w as one of the lead negotiators in the Treaty of Union - not because he w anted to lose the Scottish parliament but because he wanted a permanent p eace and access to English markets and colonies for Scottish traders.".

It was sad for them to leave Yardley w here they had their Florida room overlooking the woods and the canal. T hey enjoyed watching the deer and the birds, but Dad didn't like the sq uirrels because they were destructive. They missed having the car parke d right outside, but he really like not having to worry about the lawn a nd the snow. It was getting to be difficult to keep the place in repai r.

Th e reception was held at the Fairmount on Hudson Blvd Jersey City. Only m y family and Dolly's plus misc. friends attended. It was not a large g athering because money was tight. My mother was born in England apparen tly Liverpool. My mothers sisters and brothers were Aunt Mary who was b orn in Ireland died in Buffalo NY Mar, 1930. I remember her very well a r eal hard worker and a great pal for kids, always had a handy surprise. S he worked as a housekeeper for some well-off people in Bflo., then late r worked in a laundry as an ironer. Timothy Sheehan was born in Ireland d ied in Bflo., NY, 1905. Aunt Kate Greene is still alive appox. 86 year s old. She had a big family, Veronica alive, Katherine, Loretta dead, R ichard dead, Elizabeth dead, William alive in Buffalo area. Dorothy al ive in Buflo. or Calif. She had a couple of more kids but I think they d ied as infants. The job you gave me is a real bit.- I think most of the i nformation I can give you will have to get from the proper sources. Th e Buffalo newspaper is the Buffalo Evening news. I sold this when I wa s approx. 12 years old until I was about 17. We as a family - Ed - Din & m yself sold papers on our end of time. I am sure you can get all the in fo you want from them. The cemetery all our people are buried in happen s to be in Lackawanna NY, It is normally referred to as Father Bakers" a nd /or Limestone Hill. There is another newspaper in Buffalo it is the " Courier Express they will also have the same vital statistics as the Bf lo. Evening news." (NOTE the last page of the letter is missing).

Watson, Don Holland of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, From Beyond Remembrance : LaRue and Allied Families website (1997-2002). notes that, "the Inquisition began in Lille in 1565 and spread to Lallo eu!! (This verifies my conjectures about the flight of the ancestors of A nthoine from Lalloeu to Leiden, Netherlands, which would have been a re latively safe haven. Karl Larew places the start of the Inquistion as 1 562). Lalleou and Armentier very close together, geographically.".

Relatives encirc led Dad's bed for his final breath - Mom, Tom, Gail, Mary, Mike - and t he resident Huggins family including John, Tommy, Michael, Maggie. It w as a simultaneously wonderful and sorrowful moment that was intensely e motional. Dad led a remarkable life through extrodinary times. Each of h is decendants have demonstrated love and respect for this man. His last y ears were marked by extreme physical pain and its frustrations. For som e, unfortunately, this is how Dad will be defined to them. To the rest o f us, we will take comfort in the lessons of love, respect, responsibil ity, discipline, and self-accountability that this man has personally r epresented and instilled in each one of us. He is merely mortal, but a m ortal that made the most of his time on Earth by investing his energies i nto his family, faith, and high standards for living a great life. I en courage you to respond to this message so we can share thoughts and fee lings in the effort to gain healthy, happy closure on Dad's passing.
